This was an interesting book for a variety of reasons. The marketing of it is excellent. It comes in a cool box and with a necklace
bookmark. You are predisposed to like
it. The story is of 12 races and their
impact on each other that must be kept in balance.
The plot is worthwhile.
The idea of balance is laudable.
My first reaction on starting to read the book was not good. I hate the font. I seldom if ever use the word hate in a review
but I HATE the font. It makes the book
a struggle to read. H and W are not
easily identifiable. I think the font
was a marketing idea and I have to say it bombed for me.
The book feel is good.
The cover feels different than any book I own. The story was okay. It didn’t captivate me and it felt like it
was YA focused. If that is the case
then good focusing, if not then maybe a miss.
I really wanted to like this book and yet found myself luke-warm about
it.
There were good characterizations and lots of innovative
ideas but, for me it wasn’t a grabber.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
