Burning Glass by Kathryn Purdie
2.0
When I started reading I had high hopes for this novel and don't get me wrong it was great. But, I did find I had some issues with the writing and final arc of the story.
The beginning is very startling with the introduction of both the main character and her supporting cast. However, I found that the characters drastically changed throughout the story - where I had liked them in the beginning, I found myself hating their blandness in the end. The main characters pivoting moment seemed more an afterthought then a main part of the story especially because she has multiple, some for the discovery of herself and then again to help the climactic ending chapter. Unfortunately although this story had a great beginning, I found it fell quite flat overall and will not be continuing with the rest of the series.
