Very little motion. The book was well written and the story is a continuation of the DA series but it was very slow to bear fruit. I am assuming it was supposed to build tension but sometimes it felt like your auntie catching you up on where her kids were going to college and who got their vaccinations. The story picked up dramatically in the last 200/250 pages. This could have been one large book with a more relevant series of short stories beforehand to get the location on some of our characters. I love your books Cassie and everyone whiffs it sometimes, it wasnt bad, it was just tedious.

what has happened to her writing? this is tedious to the extreme, filled with cliche, bad grammar and convoluted plot fillers. the dialogue is boring, the many story threads mostly improbable. I'll finish it because I cant leave a book or series unfinished but omg what a slog. I am surprised and disappointed.

if you're an older reader, beware: some parts are so cringy they can cause physical and psychological pain.
