Review: Shallow Plot Line, Not That Interesting
Rating: 2 out of 5

I found this book on Twitter. I knew it was the second in the series, but my experience with serial books is that there is repetition from the first book in the series to the second so the reader usually knows what is going on. The plot line of this book movies quickly but is completely unbelievable. Other universes, witches, power channeling, and other things of that ilk are displayed here; but none of it fits all together. You get a short glimpse of Katie's natural life, and then she is a non-entity living somewhere called the Citadel, on what planet we know not.After Katie leaves the Citadel the author skips ahead 35 years! We get almost no background story to what happened to her during those 35 years, how time alters for the dead that are alive spiritually somewhere else. Katie is not a witch and she steals witches to harness her power. Her greatest catch was Rachel, but within ~10 pages Rachel goes from being alive, to living with Katie and talking about the Mountain Witches who taught her. How could they if she was alive when Katie took her?There are major plot gaps and to be brutally honest, small typos that are annoying; like the word Octoberr [sic]. Grimm should have used an editor, and if he did, he should have used a better one.@krautgrrl says don't bother with this book, it's a waste of an afternoon.
