  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

1.0

at no point did i ever like reading this book. the characters had no growth over the 200+ pages, they are nothing but massive stereotypes with almost no character building in the start. it just reads like a long winded story your friend tries to tell you at a party, but at least those are entertaining.

Not horrible written, but just kind of boring. I did Henry no favors by reading this after the masterpiece that is Gearbreakers.
