So, this is a rough review. I really did like the beginning third of the book….and then there was the middle third….and then the last third. The middle third felt like a different plot took off….and it just wasn’t that interesting. Been there, done that. The last third felt rushed. The ending is just marketing tragedy.
The writing, on its own, is engaging and easy to go along with. The plot was ‘ok’, but felt like it could have been so much better with the foundations that occurred in the first third of the book.
I wish I could go back to the just after the first third and re-work the plot lines….throw out a few 2D characters, fix the timeline, ditch 1D events and the ending and go from there. The concept was good up till that point.
Is it worth a credit….ah….shmabye. I am hoping that the MC will pop up in the next book and it will all be a dream that occurred from falling asleep in the woods.
