Review: Good premise, but gets bogged down
Rating: 2 out of 5

I tried hard to like this book, but the author goes overboard on describing things. It makes the reading tedious. For example: when the protagonist is getting ready to go out on the town, we get to read 8 paragraphs of every little step she does in the process of getting ready. Four paragraphs describe how a secondary character mixes a drink, again the details of each movement is given. And it does not read like an info dump either...it is step by step of each movement for the actions these characters are making. Boring. Great characters, and I liked the new take on reincarnation, just could not get past all the exact reporting of each movement. I quit reading a quarter of the way through it because of the tediousness of it all.
