![]() ![]() The story is handled in small bouts of Evie’s stream of consciousness, some minimal dialogue, an action scene, and then fast forward through time and all of a sudden relationships have developed. I just can’t.Īnd then, there is a lack of character development. I mean *MINOR SPOILER*** There’s a literal dance off. ![]() ![]() Then the story, which starts out with potential, veers right off the path an into cheese town. I can’t help but feel this is a limitation in the author with a lack of research and refinement in skill. It makes no sense for her to focus so much on her childhood experiences with the villain (which werent that bad honestly) and not on the severely traumatic event the book opens with. Evie would be more likable if she weren’t almost 30. The main character is super annoying, doesn’t think very critically, and is prone to silliness in a way that is not endearing. I prefer being shown rather than being told, and this author does a lot of telling. ![]() Also, the author will drag out a point with redundant streams of thought and then rather than leave some meaning up to the inference of the reader, the author will explain things inside of relying on her story telling capabilities. Evie is supposed to be 28 years old but her thoughts and speech make her come across as about 10 years younger. I wanted to like this book but I have difficulty with the author’s writing style. ![]()
