Unfortunately I had to DNF this book.

While I absolutely loved the premise and know this book might be amazing, I couldn’t get past the issues that I found to get through it.

The writing style is very simple. There are very little details in the writing to give me something to grab onto and the word choices became repetitive to the point of noticing it. The sentence structures were lacking complexity and I hate to say this, but it feels unedited. I hardly enjoy using that word as I know we are all human and authors might not be able to afford official editors, which is valid, but there is a flow with the way books are written that is just missing.

Due to the above concern, I found myself unable to connect with the FMC. She comes across stilted and one dimensional. Granted, I might not have gotten far enough into the story for her to flesh out, but I couldn’t push past this enough to keep going.

I hope this book finds its audience, and from the few reviews I’ve seen by others, I feel that may be the case and wish this author the best!

I enjoyed this ARC from NetGalley. I thought the story was great. I enjoyed the world building and characters. The plot was great. I can’t wait to find out what happens in book 2!

The only reason it’s not a 5 star read for me is I just didn’t get emotionally bonded to the characters or their struggles. I needed more depth to be drawn in.

Again I enjoyed it, it was just missing something for me to be in love. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
