My Review: Unfortunately the best thing about this title was the cover. The story opened pretty well however, it went down hill from there. The writing style was fine as was the pacing. But, this character driven story just didn't do it for me. I never really connected with the characters all and the romance just didn't click with me at all because it just didn't have enough page time to blossom.

The world building was amazing though. I really felt like this wasn't a finished title. It felt more like it was a title that was still looking for editing. And in the end at least for this reader. I wished more care would have been taken with the plot and the characters.
