Many thanks to Disney Press for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review

This is another one of those (quite frequent) times where it's not the book... it's me...

I went into this expecting science fiction (I don't know why. The cover pretty clearly shouts "fantasy") and did not get that. Scavenge the Stars is a steampunk fantasy which is fine for people who like that... I just down.

In generally, fantasy and I just don't get along. If it's too hard to understand or the world-building takes too long, I get bored and stop caring and that is what happened with Scavenge the Stars. Actually, no. In this, the world-building wasn't slow enough. I felt confused from page one. I think the author could have made the story better by slowing some things down.

At the same time, it didn't feel like anything interesting was happening. I kept skimming page after page, waiting for something bad or exciting to happen but nothing ever did. （´ヘ｀；）

Overall, I still think readers should give this a try. Maybe there will be someone out there who will enjoy this more than I did.

DNF at 39% I am bored... so bored... so bored that I chose to stare at the wall rather than try to muddle my way through... (Sorry, Disney Books... Sorry, Tara Sim)
