The 'over hyped book' jinx kicked in for this one. All the previews I had read of this book led me to really believe it was gonna be something else. Sadly, it was not. It was even a pick for book club and ironically, almost everyone felt the same way with the book.Started out good. Was interesting reading. And then I waited. Waited for the magical underworld part to kick in. It didn't. The story just went south into a very weird dark territory. The writing wasn't bad, it was actually entertaining. I'm just not thrilled with a book promising one thing and being something altogether different. Somehow that's not fair.
This is a common reader's dilemma. With each new book, you're never QUITE sure. Of where the book will take you. Of how you will react. And therein lies the adventure.
