I have a DNF review to share with you today, but I also want to share why I think this isn’t a bad book. This was more of a case of right book, wrong person. I don’t really connect with or enjoy books if they are too intense or graphic. I know this sounds strange, because I love thrillers, but if a book is too intense then I just can’t enjoy it. That was the case with this book.
I actually loved the prose and the main character; Buc was so witty, so I found myself drawn to her and rooting for her from the first page. However, the other main character, Eld, was an ex-soldier and there were some scenes where he shared about his soldier experience that I really struggled to get through. It was after this point I decided I should just stop reading. I also found the worldbuilding very unique and slightly confusing, but I have a feeling that my questions would’ve been answered had I kept reading.
If you like action-packed stories with gruff and strong-willed heroes, you might really enjoy this book! I hope you do, if you decide to read it!
