The Bloodprint: Book One of the Khorasan Archives by Ausma Zehanat Khan

2.0

DNF. Really struggled with this one, as I wanted to like it. But the characters just didn't engage me, and they didn't seem to behave or interact like actual human beings.

It also seemed way too much like a video game, with the various quests and challenges. Start by saving the slaves, rescuing the boy. Travel to city, get cloak (first enlist help of old lover, who is randomly running a bar, and somehow she knew that?).

The Bloodprint quest just boggled my mind with its various challenges. (A tower that destroys itself after you figure out the puzzle!) I kept putting the book aside, then forcing myself to come back to it. Eventually this just seemed to be a waste of time.
