The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman
2.0
This book was really slow, to the point where one of my friends saw me reading it more than once and said I just need to give up and read something else. Well, unless the novel is just crap, I refuse to give up so I finished the book. It was not great. It had a lot of potential but I really just didn't get why the author ended it like it was.
First of all it could have been cut down SO FRICKING MUCH. The whole first half of the book could have been taken out and rewritten so it could have a much more exciting pace. I mean, isn't it a rule to start a novel where the action begins. STOP WITH THE BACKSTORY. NO ONE REALLY CARES UNTIL THEY FIND A REASON TO READ.
Anyway, this book frustrated me to no end because I read it while I could have been reading Cassandra Clares new novel. I wanted this book to be worth my time and it really wasn't. *cue depressed sigh*
