From chapter 1, these problems were already evident, and I kept pushing myself to just read one more chapter in the hopes that my mind would change to no avail. However, even just 6 chapters in, I have already seen a lot of problems that even if I did finish this book, I sincerely doubt my opinion would change. I did not have very high expectations since this is a debut novel and wanted to be as open-minded as possible since I want to boost more new Filipino authors. With stunning artwork (the book covers as well as the map), an interesting blurb, and quite a number of positive reviews, I was ready to be sucked into this world and this story. The author provided me an electronic copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.ĭNF rating: 1/5 (I don't use Goodreads ratings for DNFs). ![]() |
