Disconnected Story

I could not connect with this book or the characters. The story started out interesting and then in my opinion became a little disconnected it was all over the place. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

mirror

Of all the fantasy & paranormal books I've read over the years, this is unlike any of them. Never know what's around the next corner and what you might come face to face with.

Great narrator, odd story

I got this book for free.
I have to say that it’s an extremely odd story.
It starts off with no world or character building which left me very confused as to who the characters were and why I cared about them.
Then it’s like the author couldn’t decide what to call the main female character. She goes from trainee to human to young female to young human to Gabriel to shadow and back again switching just about every time she’s named. The other humans are also mentioned as human and trainee so it’s hard to sometimes figure out who’s being mentioned.
The 2 main characters have known each other for 2 days max yet the FMC mentions or inner monologue, says things that make it seem like it’s been much, much longer like “this was the first time I’ve seen him like this”, “they’ve grown to know each other and can finish each others sentences” (not quotes but paraphrasing)
It’s mostly fade to black or very minimal descriptions of any sex scenes. Minimal spice level.
Overall not a bad story but I was left wanting for more and more believable time frames.

narration was amazing.

if you are looking for something with a wild storyline, this is it. It was slow at first, but now I feel the need to buy the next because I need to know what happens. The narration was good as always. I received this one free, but will buy the next.

Good

I think that the Author Jessica Thibodeau did a great job on this book she make you feel sympathy for the character Gabrielle as well as hopeful and I would really like to see pictures of the other world as well because of the way she described it. I can’t what to read the next book in this series
