2.0

I’m not sure how this book made it to my TBR list, but there it was and despite the not great rating, it was short and I thought I’d give it a go. I should’ve known better. It was too short to give the characters a completeness. Some of the characters introduced, seemingly to drive the story forward, just disappear. The ones that remain are not in the least entertaining. 2 stars merely because it was short and there were some descriptive segments that I enjoyed.
