I received this chapter sample from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I found the concept really interesting and very different from a lot of books in the same genre, I'm not sure if it was the formatting but it was difficult to orientate myself in the 'world' but I still want to buy the book and try it again because I think the idea is a good one.

I was sent the first chapter of this via netgalley.

Review of chapter 1:

I really enjoyed this but bloody hell was it hard to get into. It took me 3 goes to get into this, and I only read chapter one. I honestly don't know, had I been sent the entirety of the book, whether or not I would've made it even a quarter of the way through. Eventually, I had to get the audio because I couldn't even get through the first few pages. My lack of enjoyment for this book was probably because I'm currently in some of the most stressful weeks of the term at school, and just don't have the mind space for a new world or a 7 book series.

However, I will say this, I am intrigued and the ending of chapter 1 certianly tunred my tail up. I will probably pick this book up in a year or two, when I have more time to devote to it and more of the books are out.
