The Bells of Black Magic by S. Hogle
Did not finish book.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and decided to review it. This in no way impacts my opinion.
DNF @ 11%
This seems like it could be a great novel, but at almost 500 pages, it is just too long. I am overwhelmed by the amount of words and pages it takes to describe a simple event. I might come back to this one but considering how little time I have to read, I would prefer to read something that doesn't make me feel like I'm running a marathon. As well, the characters feel so similar to one another with just their own little quirk to make them "different" which I was not loving. Mostly I think this has the potential to be really interesting and have a really cool magic system, but until it cuts down on the word and page count, I am not sure I'm committed to it.
