» PLOT «
Kell is the last of the Antari. This means he is one the last who has the ability to travel between worlds, or Londons, as he calls them. While he officially services the crown, he unofficially illegally smuggles goods between the worlds. But when one day he stumbles across an artifact from the dangerous Black London, Kell's mission to get rid of the artifact causes a series of problems and obstacles.
Slow and uninteresting. I just can't find myself caring about about anything.
» READABILITY «
This was not the most readable, so I had to switch to the audiobook, and even that was not an easy read.
» CHARACTERS «
I don't like any of the characters. The only ones that have anything interesting are Rhy and Kell, but they either underdeveloped or boring. Which is bad, since Kell is literally the main character.
Lila was annoying, and I have no idea why she was necessary to the story.
» WRITING «
The writing is okay, but I feel like we focused on the wrong things. It was slow and uninteresting.
» OVERALL «
I'm sad I didn't like this book :(
