Seasons of the Storm by Elle Cosimano
1.0
I did not manage to finish this book (read about 60%).
This cover is beautiful, which is why I initially picked this book up and why it still receives the one star. The synopsis sounded interesting but once I started reading, it all fell flat for the following reasons:
I did not feel any connection to the characters and just didn't really care about them. I also feel like a lot of the relationships were already established at the beginning of the book, so there wasn't much room for development. The reader is told that things are a certain way, but you never get truly into the story to experience it. It just feels like the author is putting things in as a side note, just to give you some insight into the characters/plot.
My biggest problem though, was the concept of this book (not going into spoilers) but I found it scientifically lacking. I'm not even sure if where this story goes is scientifically possible, but if you go on this direction, then at least try to justify and explain why things are the way they are.
Also, there was this weird bit of magic in there that I didn't see the point of and that never seemed to be bound to any rules.
Not a book I would recommend
