Eh

It was okay. I had a lot of trouble with the writing. I found paragraphs had to be reread to make sense. Or maybe I'd lose my train of thought and have to jump back.

I've read better fairie / urban fantasy.

The closer I got to the end, the more I wanted to know how it ended so I could move onto another book. It was good enough to knot bail, but I also had trouble staying focused reading. I kept finding myself skimming paragraphs, reading only a couple words a page to get closer to the end. I want to see where it was going but at 85% it felt more like a chore than pleasure.
If characters got hurt, or bad things happened to them, I didn't seem to care. They seemed pretty flat. Even the main characters, who you spend a lot of time with, I felt nothing when bad things happened to them.

I wouldn't recommend it, but wouldn't stop anyone from checking it out.



And with that, the ending, I kinda feel disappointed.
