Review: Love the subject, couldn't stand the book

I am a big fan of books on magic, portals, other worlds and the like.  Based on the description this book was right up my alley so I was rather surprised at how little I enjoyed it.  I normally read a book in 24 hours but it took me a week to finish this one because I just couldn't stand it.  More than once I wanted to just stop reading it and just delete it from my Kindle but I have never NOT finished a book so I pushed myself to the end.It was very hard for me to get through the first few chapters, I kept having to take breaks as I just wasn't into the story.  Later (halfway through) it became a little bit easier to read more and by the end I was mildly interested in the characters.  The author took a lot of time and effort to share information that I can only imagine will be useful in future books in the series but didn't help keep me interested in this volume so I don't plan on reading future installments.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a review.
