This was two stories together into one book. The first story had an overall good concept, but wasn’t executed very well. I started off a bit confused on how these two characters got acquainted so fast. Overall, it was confusing, and just seemed very unrealistic of how people would normally act. The ending came on really quickly, and just seemed rushed and not quite finished. And then there were two characters, the daughters, that we were reading about in alternating chapters that never got a proper ending. It was very strange.
The 2nd story was also a pretty decent concept, but executed poorly. Not enough of the mystical element was really explored and it was focused way too much on the character that the story was kind of about but it wasn’t focused on the right things and it was very repetitive, which made for a boring read. The end was also quite predictable. They’re definitely could’ve been some kind of twist added to it to make it a little bit more interesting.
Overall two not terrible stories, just not great. I would not recommend this to anyone.
