INTRO:

I was so happy to start reading this, especially after reading the sample chapters. Alas, I made it to the halfway point and I’m soooo calling it quits 🙁 It was too much of a slugfest 🙁

I know there is a plot, somewhere… but after a good 300 pages, you’d think you would start to see it, but you don’t, or at least, I didn’t.

Worldbuilding:

Was good, I mean, there is very, very extensive worldbuilding going on, making sure the reader keeps up and slowly moving forward.

Character development:

Was decent but they didn’t feel real and I just couldn’t believe in Stephanie, there wasn’t any depth to any character 🙁

Final Thoughts:

I gave it an honest shot, even when I was going slightly stir-crazy, but nope… I’ll let this one pass me be, sorry!
