My Review
*I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an HONEST review* First, I want to make it clear that I did not DISLIKE this story. My issues were more with how abrupt it was. Things seemed to move on in an almost jerky fashion, like a kid learning to drive a standard vehicle. It just didn't flow very smoothly, and I couldn't get connected to any of the characters. However! I feel like there is great potential here! The story is a very interesting one, and with a little work I think this could be amazing. I will be reading the sequel when it's ready, and wish this author the best of luck as she moves forward. |
