I received this book from Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire in exchange for an honest review. Technically I rated this book on Goodreads as a 3 stars, but I feel like it was more of a 2.5 stars. At first I could not figure out what it was that was just “rubbing me the wrong way” with the main character, Eldon.At the end of the book some one said it and I was like yeah, that is it. In my opinion, he was so self-absorbed and self-pitying (and stayed obnoxious through the whole book) that it made it hard for me to read more than a little at a time. It wasn’t the writing , it was Eldon. I also felt like until half way through the book, it was a bit slow and dragging then it was a rollercoaster of ‘YAY’ and “eh”. It’s not that I think it was a bad book, it just wasn’t for me. I expected more … action(?) I guess or a fun book but it was kind of sad and angry instead and just fell flat for me.
