Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
As much as I dislike boiling down a book as to being "boring," that's pretty much the only explanation I have for why I didn't finish this.
It had me through the first few chapters, but then it progressively got less and less interesting. The pace slowed down when I expected it to speed up, and while I wouldn't necessarily say the plot is predictable, I'll say that for me, almost nothing felt surprising. In other words: I got bored.
Lastly, this is not the fault of the book, but I was expecting this to be more of a horror story than a fantasy. This was dark, but not scary at all.
The art is really cool though!
