annarella 's review for:

A Clockwork River by J.S. Emery
3.0

There's plenty of potential in this book, it could have been an interesting and unusual series but somehow it didn't work for me.
Even if there were some issues with the arc (in some parts the font was nearly invisible) I like the beginning and the style of writing.
It seemed to promise an entertaining story, a well developed and original world building.
Problem started after some chapters because not a lot was happening and the plot was a bit confusing at time.
I think that if I have to read such a long book (more than 700 pages) I want some actions, a plot that flows and keeps your attention alive.
After some chapters the story failed to keep my attention alive and fell flat.
Not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
