Burning Glass by Kathryn Purdie
2.0
DNF. made it to like 50 something and couldn't bear to read more. Skimmed the end and didn't care.
Honestly, I kind of knew I should have chosen a different book at Barnes and Noble. it was that feeling, you know the one. The "I'm-definitely-going-to-regret-this" feeling that you sometimes ignore, because the blurb actually sounds interesting and reading the first page you find that the writing isn't mind-numbing dull.
I was wrong. So wrong. Our heroine is...well. she's not really a heroine at all, honestly, from the few pages I did read. Mass murder and a smidge of guilt that disappears in 20 pages does not endear me to you. She isn't even some kick-ass villan or anti-hero. She's...annoying. I deal with enough annoying imbeciles in my day to day life. I don't want to read about them too.
So much regret...
