I’m not sure I’ve ever one-starred a book before, but if one ever deserved it, that is this book for sure.
Good Lord, it’s just bad. There is barely a plot, so I can’t even say execution of said plot was terrible. The characters may as well be nameless spirits aimlessly wandering the pages of this story because they are just voices that ask each other questions. Questions, I might add, that don’t get answered. Reading this made me feel like the third wheel: these ‘characters’ are trying to piece together bits of a puzzle and running for their lives. But from what exactly? And what exactly is the puzzle? The characters get the answers to these questions eventually and then carryon with their new found knowledge, but leave you, the reader, completely out of it. I had no idea what the hell was going on in either book from this duology.
I’m super disappointed. The synopsis was intriguing, but all it did was lure me into a house made of candy where I met my eventual death.
