What did I like about this book?
-the cover
-the synopsis
-the narrator
That’s it.
The story had a lot of potential, but the execution was not there. It was a very slow burn with a rushed ending. This could have been paced better, it could have been beefed up to make the characters feel like people, it could have been a lot of things it just wasn’t.
I’m willing to believe that had I read this when I was younger I’d have enjoyed it more. I don’t think I’m the target audience and that’s okay. But I didn’t like this one.
⭐️⭐️ for the three things I did like….
