I have NO IDEA as to why I thought this YA book may be different from all of the other recent ones I've read, and subsequently sworn off.
There was way too much about race in this, it was so distracting. The main character, vanilla-boring January's physical appearance was mentioned at least every few pages. It's just bizarre to me, this book needed an edit.
The description promises a fantasy, well, there was a lot of fantasy that was talked about, but none that I saw. Show me, don't tell me.
Then, there was the introduction of a story within a story. I stopped reading, then thought to myself, wow, this is pretty crappy, but I'll keep on. After ten minutes, I officially returned the digital copy to the library.
This book was not magical, it was boring, and there was too much exposition. I am NEVER reading another YA book, unless it's a Star Wars one. I've learned my lesson, yet again.

Huh...i thought I'd enjoy this more. It dragged in places and I definitely felt like I was reading something that was written in the nineties. It wasn't modern enough for me romance wise. I like my rough and ready, dirty talking guys and my kick arse gals but other than the occasional scene, it wasn't there.
It had a good premise but it fell short for me. It was too long, too. I get bored by long books.
