Did not finish. I could not get into this book, so I moved on. The characters were not very interesting to me. I made it about a quarter of the way through the book before giving up.
I received a cop of this book in exchange of an honest review via NetGalley.
Well, this was bad. Even if I really hate DNF-ing books I just couldn’t force myself through it. I just glad that I decided to read the first book before requesting the first one because I wouldn’t read that one too.
Honestly, the first thing that really captured my attention and the reason I requested it was the cover which is quite misleading. The whole story starts out extremely slow and didn’t really speed up. Along with the space and the misleading synopsis which together give quite a bad picture I also kind of hated the writing style. It’s dry and almost amateurish. The first thing they teach u sin high school about writing essays is to refrain from using the same word too many times and in close proximity to each other. So when I encounter a book where the same words are repeated numerous times in one sentence, that’s off putting for me.
This book wasn’t my taste and since I didn’t finish it I can’t really say anything positive about it, maybe only that there were a couple of interesting ideas in it regarding the world building. They are just few and far between without the much needed explanations and details. Sorry.
I got this book from Netgalley because of the discription. It seems like something I would and maybe it is. The world and everything...
But it's just too slow for me, and got bored. I finished it, though. I was hoping for more action. And the writing is little bit off. I felt like I'm reading about characters in a different book and not the ones promised to me by the blurb/description when I requested for this book on Netgalley.
