librarianlayla 's review for:

Ace of Swords by Clare Carter
3.0

I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I found the idea of vampires and angels in an age old war to be an interesting concept. Throw in some angel/vampire hybrids and humans just trying to survive a dystopian world - and I was really intrigued.

Unfortunately for me, I felt that the book needed more work. I wanted to know more about the world, I wish there had been more depth to it and the characters as well. Some of them were interesting and had aspects that were great, however, I felt that for the most part they were just surface characters. This could have been in part due to the fact that the book flicks between time periods and between characters. So you really do have to pay attention to the character and what year it says it is, so you know whether or not you're going backwards or forwards with their character development.

I think it had some really good potential, just needed more polish to make it a book that is a page turner. It's format would suit an onscreen adaptation though.
