This was a slow going book for me. I tried to love this book. I wanted to love this book. This is usually a book that I would DEVOUR. I think the writing just wasn't it for me.
I think if the writing would have been more developed for me, I would have enjoyed this and sailed through this book. I could have loved it more. But I also didn't loved our Female Main Character. She was ungrateful. She obviously didn't get that her circumstances weren't compatible for life above ground.
Sienna obviously wasn't a character that I liked. I wanted to like. I tried to like her. But she consistently opened her mouth and things continued to fall out that showed how much she truly didn't grasp her situation or how much Nikolai did for her. Nikolai should have let her go on her own long ago when she started to complain about everything. Then she could truly understand her dire situation.
I just couldn't find the will to care by the end of the book.
