So I felt the story started
fairly slowly wasn’t sure what to make of it. I went along with it because it
feel like I book/story I should like. And it wasn’t that I disliked it I just,
I don’t know, I could commit to it. Additionally I found it quite annoying how
often author says “in a town like Gaitlin…” I get it. It’s a small town nothing
unusual happens. There must be ways that that meaning could be but across
without literally saying it every other paragraph. It was one of those things
once I noticed it I couldn’t, not notice it.
I felt the story took a long
time to get going, I enjoyed a good portion of the book towards the end, but I
just felt like the story could have been ironed out better. I can almost see
where it was meant to go and what I was meant to feel about characters but I
never whole heartedly did. There just wasn’t enough ‘real’ conversation between
characters and it just felt a bit…. Forced, I can’t really think of a better
way of describing it.
Sometimes whilst I was
reading I was thinking there is no way, in reality you’d be in that situation
and react that way. If someone is threatening the person you love, you wouldn’t
then wonder off and just carry on with what you were doing like the badie
wasn’t even there. Even some of arguments between characters seemed lacking in
purpose or just seemed to end. I also thought it just sort of ended, I know it
is part of a series but normally I feel like I have to know what happens
straightaway. I just didn’t get that with this book.
I will read the next book at
some point but I’m not in a rush to get to it, but hopefully the story becomes
more ironed out and purposeful as even though I may have seemed negative about
the book. I could see where it could go and there were times in the book when I
was compelled and fully invested. I guess I shall wait and see.
