I love steampunk, but I'd hate for it to start so strongly only to go downhill from there. Jordan sounds frustrating as well. I'm sorry this didn't really work for you, Juhina, but fantastic review! :)<br /><br />Aa'Ishah @ <a href="http://readingunderthestars.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Reading Under the Stars</a>Aa'Ishahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034750057312410821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-52023906572576237152013-07-22T17:52:23.169-04:002013-07-22T17:52:23.169-04:00I'm actually reading this one right now!

Sometimes the writing style feels confusing to me and you're right, the plot is on the slow side.

I just look at the cover, find out what genre it is, and look at the overall rating on Goodreads and sometimes read maybe 1 or 2 reviews on it if I'm unsure whether to buy it. I haven't read any witchcraft books except The Crucible which was creepy but good. I'm not sure whether to check this out because of the main character.. we'll see.<br /><br />Leigh<br />Little Book StarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-3892652883552076602013-07-18T09:40:00.155-04:002013-07-18T09:40:00.155-04:00I do like witch books, but I'm sorry to hear t...I do like witch books, but I'm sorry to hear that you didn't connect with the characters.

I'm sorry your enjoyment for this novel decreased as the story progressed. Lucky for me, I haven't read the synopsis yet so that may not be the same problem for me. The characters don't seem lovable though. I'll have to look for more reviews of this one, but thanks for the wonderful review, Juhina!Jen (Books and Other Happy Ever Afters)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13191886477394054542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-429418577504396602013-07-17T14:55:58.975-04:002013-07-17T14:55:58.975-04:00Bummer.

It was definitely an overload of information at times and a slow pacing, but I adored Shannon's 13 to Life series so I had to read it. I am hoping that this was a case of a bad first book syndrome where the rest of the series will get better. Nice review though!Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-45133968971240781922013-07-17T11:42:51.666-04:002013-07-17T11:42:51.666-04:00Not much connection with the main characters and a...Not much connection with the main characters and a slow pacing, this sounds like a book I would struggle with.
