Review: It had promise, but fell short

A book with an unoriginal premise needs to be unique and well written, and this one just wasn't. The author rambled, the plot rambled, the resolution rambled. It almost seemed the writer padded it to build up the word count. This book would have benefited from a really good critique partner. I found myself skimming paragraphs just to get to the ending. Lots of tell, very little show. One thing really tiresome on the eyes: I read this on a Kindle Fire with fairly small text and still paragraphs were huge, massive blocks of text with no break for the eyes. If I was to pinpoint a positive about this book, it would be the hero's journey to overcome his inner demons, but I was disappointed in the resolution that included the female who didn't even appear until the last couple pages, and not the one who traveled the story with him.
