A review by ninetalevixen
The Silver Scar by Betsy Dornbusch
Did not finish book.
(I received a free eARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.)
DNF at 5%.
I had a feeling from the beginning that I wouldn't like the writing style - half overly descriptive with adjectives and adverbs, and I barely understood the other half because it was archaic and/or underdeveloped worldbuilding - but chapter two, in which Reine inexplicably prefaces random sentences with "Fuckin" was the clincher. The Christianity/Wiccan conflict and individual backstories seem promising, but I just don't feel like struggling through to pick out the plot.
