This book is a slow burn but it does pick up and ultimately it’s a really great and unique story. However, if it isn’t grabbing you there’s no shame in moving on to something else. Life’s too short and all. ?

I feel like I’m the one person that didn’t like this one. I wish I had bailed.

I didn’t care for this book either. If it’s not grabbing you, I say move on to something else.

I think this is also a bit of a “marmite book” (you either loved it or you couldn’t stand it) because it’s in the fantasy genre.

Think this is one of those books you are either going to love or hate. I fall into the later, but finished it as came highly recommended and thought it must get better…

I totally loved this book, but if you aren’t into it, I’m a big believer in putting it down and moving onto something you like better. Life’s too short to spend time trying to stick with a book you aren’t enjoying, and there are SO many other books out there waiting to be discovered! ?

I read it years ago and I liked it, but I wasn’t in love. I think it may have been a case of wrong book, wrong time – I also want to give it another chance!
