The Terrible Gift by Colette Rhodes

3.0

I actually really enjoyed this and it was definitely going to be a 4 star, HOWEVER the ending is extremely abrupt and felt like an unnatural break for the story. It’s not quite a cliffhanger in the way of there being a really distressing situation or conflict, but it’s also in the middle of a conversation so it seemed weird. There’s also not a big climax or high action point in this story, it feels almost like part I of a big novel rather than book I of a series if that makes sense. I could easily see the 3 books here combined into one 3 part fantasy novel and I feel like that would make more sense.

But as far as the storyline and world development and character development I like where this is going! I just wish it went further.
