lizbethandthelifeinbetween 's review for:
Afterlife
by J.K. Ishaya
I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Well, this started off boring and the writing style did no help. It was all telling all the time and it made it hard to get lost in the books and feelings and supposed nuances. The point by point writing made the fighting scenes boring. It felt very devoid of emotion when emotional connections were a large part of the story.
Also, this was very, very cluttered and convoluted. There were a lot of interesting concepts that didn't get introduced until 40% into the book, then then they were glossed over way too quickly. Nothing got the right amount of attention or too much attention. Plot elements seemed to come out of nowhere or go away after a brief only to be abruptly brought up again.
There were a few good scenes here and there, but I spent a lot of this confused and trying to figure out what exactly happened and I'm still not sure.
