The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe
2.5
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No

I read this in one sitting, which would normally mean it was a good book. However… I have so many mixed feelings about this. The concept was interesting, but the writing wasn’t great. Everything felt very rushed and the spice wasn’t even all that…

I would’ve preferred it to have been longer, with more character development so when the spice hit, or the story progressed, I would’ve been a lot more invested. 

It was a fun read in some places, if you don’t take it too seriously. But overall… it did fall flat.
