2.0

I think I shouldn't have read this in a mindset where I just wanted a fast fantasy series, with a strong protagonist. The blurb and the reviews of this book made me very intrigued about it, that's why I added it to my TBR list. But, now that I have read it... It didn't seem that interesting to me ?? I don't know, maybe it's because I picked the novella or maybe it's because of my current mood. 

Anyway, I would rate it 2 stars for now, in accordance to the Goodreads rating system.

Ps. Will read the full length (unabridged) novel later sometime.

Personal notes:

Started it at midnight. Speed ran through the novella.
