The Winner's Crime

DNF PG 20

Why?

Don't hate me for this. I liked this first book, more than I'd even expected to, so I had some hopes and excitement for this book. Instead I was left with not wanting to read it. At all. I think in the twenty pages that I did read, I picked it up and put it down three or four times because I didn't like what I was reading.

I don't know if the writing style/characters really changed all that much between this and the previous book or if my tastes changed that much in thirteen months. Because, honestly, the writing style was not working for me and I got to spend time in both Kestrel and Arin's heads and I kind of hate both of them. Arin I want to slap so badly for the way he was acting and Kestrel...Kestrel isn't what I remember. So either my memory is faulty (definitely possible) or the characters changed in a direction that I really couldn't stand.

(Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but I've been trying to read this book for the better part of a week and I just don't feel like forcing my way through it.)
