e-book from Penguin First to Read in exchange for an honest review
Not
sure what I expected from this book and maybe that is why it fell short. It had
an interesting premise. Kings being risen from the dead to continue rule over a
city that literally is under law to not change. The dead, and those that go
raise them, lose something. I wanted more of an emotional punch from this. I thought
this was supposed to be young adult but words like "f***" were just
randomly thrown around, not adding a lot, not really necessary. The deaths were
violent and gruesome. I felt the pacing was all over the place and I was bored
with the stilted dialogue. I can see why people would like this but it just
wasn't for me. A solid fantasy read that maybe has potential as a series now
that the world is built.

ReplyDeleteIt was a very interesting premise! I can see why people would like it!
DeleteSeems like the last couple Penguin First Read books you've gotten have been just okay?
