It is *so* frustrating when YA books are billed as Adult instead! Sometimes I want YA but if I'm going into a book expecting Adult I'm never going to be happy with the lack of detail we get in YA

[@GemofBooks]

I think it really does an injustice to the book and almost sets it up to fail. Poor marketing strategy that!

[@readingoffmyshelf2088]

Great review. Thank you from the sounds of things with is not a book I fancy reading 🧊

[@GemofBooks]

Yeah, it definitely has an audience, just not this corner of BookTube I think

[@spreadbookjoy]

Sounded like a great premise but not one for me - I prefer a bit more depth to my fanatasy much like yourself!

[@GemofBooks]

Indeed! You need to pick up Lightbringer!!

I'm beginning to dip my toe into fantasy and have only read a few things so far. I'm finding that I'm very picky about what I'll tolerate. 🤣This one would be a pass for me.

[@GemofBooks]

Yeah, I would say if you are a lit fic reader, this is not a good option for fantasy

[@PageTurnersWithKatja]

What a shame. I love the cover design and concept, but I'd be put off by those things too.

[@GemofBooks]

Yeah, a bit of a case of style over substance I think 😬

[@scallydandlingaboutthebooks]

Instalove. Definitely a no!

[@GemofBooks]

Exactly! 😂

I can see why you were intrigued by this initially. Sorry it disappointed you. 🧊💙
