1.0

This book was not for me. The narration was wonderful, the plot strong, and the setting was just my jam, but there's too little fantasy for my taste.
I was over 50% in the story before real fantasy themes appeared. I expected more from the blurb and cover.
Other than that, I felt there were too low stakes. I always knew Lola was safe, and I have to admit, I was bored often.

I wanted to like this book - but did not. It ended up on my DNF shelf after getting to 70% on my Kindle. I found that world-building was lacking, characters were as deep as a tea-spoon of water and lacked character. Story was good but just not for me.

I received this as a review copy in exchange for honest review.

Good Story

This was a good story, but kind of slow in a few places. Despite that it was interesting for the most part and I enjoyed meeting all the characters.
