Wings Unseen by Rebecca Gomez Farrell
3.0
I received an arc copy of Wings Unseen from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Rating: 2.5 stars
The first thing that caught my eye about Wings Unseen was the cover. It was beautiful and enchanting. Then I read the description and I was even more drawn in.
Within the first few chapters, I already had a favorite character. Vesperi. I know Vesperi is supposed to be despicable but I loved her from the start. I mean a head strong women trying to make her way in a terrible society but also harbors a secret power? Sign me right up. I loved her POV'S. I was disappointed she didn't have that many POV'S in the beginning. I just wanted more of her and I just got Serra which I hate to say but I didn't like her all that much. She eventually grew on me but never topped Vesperi. Janto was also a great character, he had a lot of potential and wasn't a typical testorone filled male. I enjoyed his sections but Vesperi had my attention.
Overall, Wings Unseen was a good book but, personally, I didn't like it very much. I feel the world building could have been more enhanced especially in the 2nd half. The plot was interesting but I found myself confused and it took a rather long time for me to get my bearings. It feels as if the story starts right off the bat and you have to fill in a lot of blanks. My interest fluctuated constantly throughout. There was a few times where I was riveted but then other times where I was dragging myself to the next part. In general, I think some polishing could be done but Wings Unseen is good.
