Taking a break from this for a minute.

 
Legacy of Orisha, Book 2

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the series

The Characters:

Zèlie:
Amari:


The Story:

I am so disappointed, mostly in my inability to stick it out. I was just so bored and I didn’t care what was going on. So, I bailed. I had high hopes for this book.

The Random Thoughts:

*DNF - no rating

Three stars is the best I can do. I'm just flummoxed.

The idea is great, I like the story, just not how it unfolded. So far the only character I can get behind is Roen, the mercenary from a distant land with skin like sand, and Tzain the older brother of the main protagonist. The characters just flip flopped too much for me. I understand a bit of confusion and being at a loss as to who you are and what you should do especially considering the situations they all find themselves in, but it seemed they were changing who they were every chapter. And that ending?! Ugh! As much as I am not loving the way this series is unfolding, I am invested, which means I gotta wait for at least one more novel. WTF?!

I wish I could say I enjoyed this as much as the last book but, sadly, it just didn't keep the flame alive for me. I felt like I needed to keep reading just to get to the end, to see what became of the characters even though, once again, I didn't care too much about them. The end was a surprise as the book could very easily have been the conclusion of the series and I wonder if the twist was just to set the characters off on a new adventure. It's not a bad book, just a little confused and sometimes  excessive with all the new "abilities" we were introduced to. I'll probably read the next one but won't be as eager as I was before.
