6 DNFs for #SPFBO | 2020

there's a lot to like about this book but there's also a lot that is very familiar to me stuff that i've definitely seen done to death a thousand times so it's fun and if you like tolkien style stuff i think you might very much like this book but for me it just didn't feel original enough

unfortunately this book felt really underdeveloped we follow a character called frey who for some reason is unable to do magic and she's living in this tiny little town kind of trying to find out more about her past and why she can't do magic really didn't like frey as a character

this book really didn't work for me right from the very beginning although it has a concept of angels behind it and demons presumably too i like that kind of thing usually but i found this particular book to be quite voyeuristic and quite focused on the male gaze

it has interesting concepts it just completely grossed me out and i couldn't deal with carrying on and also the politics side of it was a weird twist for me

i was really sad to dnf this one because it was actually the cover pick winner and i loved the cover i thought the covers so beautiful and so different but the book itself really didn't work for me in fact it was one of the most confused stories i've read in a while

this series i feel like has a lot of similar ideas to most urban fantasies i've read before and it just doesn't have that sake kind of fun character that i could latch on to and really enjoy so it let me down a little bit in that area
