discombobulated, boring mess with an unlikeable main character.

Revisado: 08-10-24

The description is definitely NOT what is actually in the book. 30 something year old suburban woman with a family is given a random key and vague note. she pursues "clues" in a nonsensical mystery to the detriment of everything in her life getting ruined. and it's really vague if it was worth it. a lot of trauma dumping and dumb, unrelated stuff coming together at the end but not in any satisfying way. Jeff Van Dermeer worst book (that I've read)

Same tired tropes.

Revisado: 07-24-24

It was written well enough that it was an enjoyable read, but it was predictable and a little boring. This is one of many Mary Jane, country bumpkin going to the big city books. She is SO talented and so humble, and SO friendly, and SO cute, and just perfect. The boys love her, the girls want to be her. course there is a set up for her enemy, who hates her for a nonsensical reason, to become her love interest in the next book. not one original idea in this book. Perfect for a 12 yr old

I love this book and just listened to the audiobook to refresh my memory before I watch the movies.

Steven Erikson does not disappoint!!

Revisado: 03-31-24

Erikson makes unlikeable characters interesting. Everyone character is well thought out and very well rounded. Erikson can sometimes be verbose and it takes forever to get to the point, but this book was perfect.

A big Meh

Revisado: 02-15-22

I don't like books where the protagonist is always winning and figuring stuff out with no real struggle or failures. A novice spy and assassin but she manages to save the day every time. F**ing Mary Sue

Ok story but others have done it better

Revisado: 11-06-21

This is like a rip off from Neil Gaiman but not as well executed. The main character is kind of annoying and the plot could've been more interesting. I tuned out but didn't miss anything several times. Will not bother with any sequels.

Meh

Revisado: 10-19-21

This book was well written and narrarated bit kind of boring. The description snippet was not at all what I imagined this book would be like. No real plot, but a good way to pass time while cleaning or working.

Thank goodness it was just a novella

this book started out so interesting and then petered out and made no sense at the end very disjointed and the main character was super naive

Great Ending for a great trilogy!

Revisado: 09-21-21

the book started out a little slow. but Joe Abercrombie never fails to deliver. unlike a lot of books in his genre there is never any unbelievable deus ex machina. but in this book thankfully the characters I wanted to live lived except for one. I like how there are no final happy endings and everyone has to accept their faults and delusions(or not) and carry on like in real life. I'm glad Baez finally got pushed to the side. But never count him out.
