Kingdom of the Wicked

Was a bit disappointed with this one. The core concept of witches and selling your soul to the devil is fun enough, but the execution really didn't gel with me. I found the prose somewhat lazy and the foreshadowing was less hinting and more screaming in your face what was going to happen. I also really dislike it when sections of text are printed in difficult to read handwriting style print. This had that and then worsens it by darkening the background making those sections really awkward to read. The first half was really slow and I struggled to like the main character - her character development over the course of the book was difficult to believe in, particularly with the timeframe presented. The pace did pick up in the second half and I appreciated that there were some interesting twists towards the end, but overall this was a disappointing read. An interesting concept not executed in a way I enjoyed.
