A review by someonetookit
Dark of the West by Joanna Hathaway
3.0
l had such hope for this novel when I started but unfortunately it fell a little short of expectation for me.
The tale of 2 teens destined to save their kingdom with their union, it took a long time to really get going. When there was a death of a parent I thought it was about to get interesting, Instead it kept moving at a snails pace for another large portion of the novel.
I found myself losing track of which narrator was currently in the spotlight as both MC's were very close to the mother in their life which their father was not present. While this eventually resolved itself around 1/3 of the way through, it was still a little off putting at later stages of the novel.
While it definitely started to pick up towards the end after a few twists and turns, l found it to be very mid-range for a highly anticipated YA fantasy.
I recieved an advanced review copy from Netgalley and the publisher Tor Teen in exchange for an honest review. The opinions within are that of the author and have in no way been influenced by the publisher or its affiliates
