Mrs SW
I generally like the work of B.A. Paris and have huge admiration for anyone who can actually write a book and get it published and sold! I have to say, at 55% I am struggling. It feels a bit like wading through treacle - laborious, not very rewarding and hoping there might be something to make it worthwhile on the other side. Not much character development, nothing to draw me to the characters and just a bit bland. I hate leaving a poor review and of course it is only my opinion, but read it with moderate expectations. I will finish it, but very easy to put down.
