DNF @ pg. 216


I really wanted to like this book—especially since it was one of my most anticipated releases of the year—but unfortunately I just don’t think this author is for me. All complaints I had about Safts debut, Down Comes The Night were still heavily prevalent in her sophomore novel. Although Saft is a very atmospheric and metaphorical writer, her pacing, world building, & relationship building need a lot of work; which were my main complains about her debut.


I also felt, that despite being halfway through this book, these characters had no chemistry. It just wasn’t there, and combined with the slow pace, I unfortunately am gonna have to DNF this one ):
