I'd like to thank the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me a chance at reviewing this book.
This is sadly one of those books where its not the book, it's me. It's me being such a reader that when I dive into books I expect something new and fresh. I also thought that for a YA book the book read more akin to a grade school / childrens book with the dialogue and the tone. (See Brandon Sanderson's current space book series in the YA and the tone and dialogue of that one to get what I mean.)
I grabbed this book because Robin Hobb said it read really good to her. It didn't read well too me and I just got this feeling the book would not chart well.
