The Necromancer's Light

Kindle: 1 hr 20 mins left in book.
Me: 25 minutes, take it or leave it.

Yes I skimmed the last 50%. You know what, I missed nothing. There were no crucial or interesting conversations. Everything was just predictable.

I much prefer slow burn, or at least, chemistry. These two didn't really have like, sizzling chemistry, you know.

But anyway, issues I had with characters:
1. I didn't like prickly Shae was. If he was actually closed off I would accept it. But he mostly pretends to be. The scene where he leaves Arthur and is disappointed Arthur doesn't chase after him, Jesus Christ. Like wow, maybe don't leave?
2. Arthur is bland.
3. At about 42% they kiss. Then they have sex. I skipped the sex scenes. They were boring.

I knew Shae wasn't going to lose his powers because the book just isn't brave enough for that. It makes sense too that Arthur leaves the order but doesn't lose his powers. Georgia remains alive. Wonderful.

Really dry. Idk I was expecting more angst. I like angst, but not like, pretend angst followed by quick declarations of love. I like real fucking angst. I think the book just wasn't long enough for that kind of character growth, and Shae is just the kind of MC I do not like.
