I received this book for an honest review

This one for me was pretty peculiar, it wasn't a bad book, now for me it felt a little too weird and forced at parts, maybe it's just that there were so much things happening and for some reason at the beginning the characters were so unexciting. I thought a lot about just leaving it.

I do had my complicated relationship with this one, because Kane was obnoxious, I wanted to kill him right away, don't know why, Adam's inclusion at the time felt so wrong and for me wasn't at smoothly as it should have been maybe. It did have a little more sense as time progressed and all, by the end the characters at least Kane were less hateful.

One character I hated was Poppy, she was weird and bland but for me this wasn't a good thing totally opposite, she was trying hard I can tell it's just she didn't sit well with me.

An interesting part was the lore thing on the story they were trying to pull, about the women and the witches, it was a good idea on there, just a little fast on the development, but it did an interesting narrative for a while with these concept.

In an all, the story was pretty fumbled and it was hard to keep everything in check or a straight timeline of events since a lot of things happened not only on the past but lots were happening in the time they were trying to solve, so for me it was a little confusing.

The narrator didn't click with me either, maybe this just aggravated the situation for this one since I was just wanting to get to the end so I didn't have to hear his voice anymore, he wasn't quite good for this type of book, it was a little torture with his voice acting, but since he narrates the third one too, I will do my best.

Not the best one on the series, but not that bad either, maybe the combination between story and voice wasn't ideal and that did tarnish the experience a little.
