Shadow and Ice by Gena Showalter
DNF @ 23%
I tried, I really did, but I could not get into the writing or the characters as the story was very long-winded, inner-thought heavy, suffered from slow pacing, and had generally immature characters that never felt real. After weeks of it not holding my attention, I decided to give up and let it go. I hadn't read Gena's books before so I'm unsure if this is her typical writing style, but if you're a fan of hers I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I think the premise is really amazing and it's unfortunate that I won't be able to find where the author took it.
**Received an early copy; this had no bearing on my opinions**
