Review
Thank you to Orbit for an ARC of this book.
I really, really wanted to love this book, but I struggled with it. The beginning was interesting enough, but then I kind of got…bored…part way through.
I felt like this could have been an excellent book, but I just wasn’t totally vibing with it. There are aspects of the book that I really liked, and then there are aspects of the book that left a lot to be desired (for me personally).
Stewart’s world building and writing is fantastic. I don’t mind large casts of characters if I feel they’re different enough, I didn’t feel that these characters stood out enough from each other. Often I felt one POV ran into the other, and that is was a tad longer than it needed to be.
Even the plot I felt was a bit of a struggle to get through. I was really hoping for something — I don’t know.
The ending is what will make me want to pick up the next book — if I decide to.
