Review: Unbalanced and Muddled
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 25, 2011
I really wanted to like this book and honestly the writing wasn't terrible and littered with typos but there was just a huge unbalance in the whole story arch and a lot of things left sort of unfinished or muddled. The ending completely lost me. I was following along, if somewhat reluctantly at times, with the story but there was never any truly sexy scenes and so much was left open-ended that I was pretty disappointed by the end. Maybe this is to make room for sequels but there just seemed to be a lot of alluding to things that were never actually explained. Adding to the confusion was the random paragraph breaks, in my reading experience if there is a great gape between paragraphs you can expect a change of P.O.V. or a progression of time but this was simply a large gap in the same thought process. Also with chapters starting randomly on the page following a paragraph I was pulled out further. Usually formatting on the kindle editions isn't a bit deal with me but when I'm already trying to figure out what was going to happen with this story, the added distraction didn't really help. The pacing completely changed and sped up at the end and wasn't really a resolution but felt more like a cop out, so while the idea of this series could be especially interesting there wasn't a lot of redeeming qualities for the actual book. It was free so it wasn't the end of the world for me but I'm not sure I could recommend it for others.
