pelicanfreak's review against another edition
3.0
As the book opens, I am somewhat interested but feel it's a bit vague. I read on expecting the vague-ness to clear up but it does only somewhat. This is a very interesting read to review as - some of the descriptions are brilliantly vivid and original while others have completely been done before. The book is action packed and would likely be a fast read even if it weren't so short. The formatting was clearly done with care and the result is gorgeous.
I was annoyed at one point as a mass rape is described as having no struggle on the victims' part; given our problem with rape culture, I cannot appreciate this scene as it's the sort of image that feeds it.That said, this is a work of fiction and I can move on.
This was an okay read, well imagined and fairly well written. A quick read. It didn't particularly leave me wanting more of this series or this author, nor did it leave me with a feeling of dislike.
I received this book in exchange for honest review.
