I didn't like this one at all, but I can appreciate that the writing did have its elements of excellence in it. I liked the crossing out feature, and that it seemed to eke out by the end of the book, which shows the main character's frame of mind had changed. I liked the emotional turmoil, and the tension. But I do agree that it was very repetitive which got quite annoying. Hope to hear your thoughts on the rest of the series! I'm very meh about it, so I don't really have any plans to continue, but I may be persuaded.<br /><br />Cass @ <a href="http://wordsonpaperya.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Words on Paper</a>Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113457747798289165.post-31308352885603792322017-07-25T12:13:14.505-04:002017-07-25T12:13:14.505-04:00I completely agree with you about the cover.

It took me AWHILE to get used to it. By the end of the book I kind of just ignored it for the most part but I never did become a fan of it. I prefer concise and to the point writing. I tend to get bogged down when it's flowery and too descriptive. Kenji was one of my favorites!! It's been forever since I've read this series so I can't remember all the details but I'm sure I probably agreed with you about the world building. That's a huge must for me. I can't wait to see what you think about the rest of the series! Hopefully you like the ending better than I did :/Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693881573322261240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113457747798289165.post-4862374373176774012017-07-24T18:51:07.877-04:002017-07-24T18:51:07.877-04:00I had listened to the first book on audio, and I l...I had listened to the first book on audio, and I loved the way the narrator read it. I used her cadence and voice in my head, when I read the other two books. So, maybe that is why I sort of liked the style of the book. And yes, Kenji is definitely one of my all-time faves.
