Promise of Shadows by Justina Ireland
3.0
Well. I wanted to like that more than I did. But while the story was creative and had so much potential to be engrossing, the author interrupted the flow constantly with repetitive statements followed by sudden leaps to conclusions that never should have been made.
It's not that uncertainty over a potential relationship and wondering if someone is trustworthy aren't valid. It's that we were pummeled with statements about these issues--and frequently told that they shouldn't matter when I completely agreed that they did not.
A good editor could have pruned this by a third to make a great story. I loved the spin on gods, goddesses, and demi-gods and the rich world they inhabited with rules that we mortals would never suspect.
