A review by turbie
Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst
One of the things that pulled me into this book was the murderer that Eve was trying to escape...with that being said the murderer was hardly in, let alone even mentioned, in about half of the book.
I went into this book with a lot of expectations and just about all of those disappeared or changed. First off, the murderer as I mentioned above, I expected to be more of a main focus. Secondly, I didn't expect this to be such a fairy tail. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but just reading the description on the back of the book didn't give me that impression. Third, the main character...Eve. She has amnesia and constantly has memory lapses through out the book. I found this to be fairly interesting at first but soon it got...old? It seemed that hardly any development was happening to her. She started out as a flat character with no memory and every few chapters she reset back to her empty slate.
I went into this book with high expectations and expected this book to absorb me. However SO much differed from what I expected, the characters didn't grab my attention, and the fairy tale element sort of turned me off rather then pull me in. This was a book that I was able to put down and not touch for a few days (which happened on multiple occasions).
I wouldn't say this book was bad, but I wouldn't exactly recommend it either. Just know what you're getting into because I felt the description I read on this book was fairly misleading and oversold the story, causing me to have high expectations that the book came far from meeting.
