Missed the mark for me

I heard such good things about this book. I love the cover and the described setting and blurb seemed like this would be my catnip. I don’t know if I read this book when I was in the mood for something different but it did not work for me at all.

The writing is beautiful and the scenes are descriptive but nothing happened at all in the first third of the book. I didn’t make a connection with any of the characters, the magic wasn’t explained. I was just simply bored.

Things started to get interesting about halfway in but it was too little, too late with all the interesting bits internal thoughts and lingering looks at a character of the opposite gender.

I feel like this book had potential but needed better pacing, more description in some areas and less in others. I would try a different book by the same author but have no interest in continuing this duology.
