Note to self: if a book has a ton of hype, please look up how many GR top reviews are 5-star and paid.
This book sincerely sucked. Bad. My 2-star review is super generous.
- was it original? No. It was a retelling of Poe that did absolutely nothing to add to the original. However, it did take away immensely.
- world building? There was a weird attempt to invent a fictional country and language... Unnecessarily boring and ended up going nowhere.
- humor? Fell flat in all attempts
- suspense? None at all
- atmosphere? Absolutely none
- characters? Couldn't care less about a single one
- horror? Still a no
There were glimpses of the author being an ok writer as far as dialogue and lexicon, but overall this book frickin sucks and y'all that gave it rave reviews should be ashamed of yourselves.
