#Review ~ The Witch’s Boy by Kelly Barnhill #MyTBR

My Review:

I really tried, I did but this just wasn’t working for me. I don’t review DNF but since this is a part of my TBR list I thought I would add a few sentences as to what didn’t work for me.

  • I was completely disconnected with the characters, I didn’t care much for Ned, Aine or Sister Witch. I just wasn’t feeling the connection between the characters either.
  • It was so slow, at 44% I still have no idea what was happening and the build was taking to long.
  • I wasn’t getting the story, I wanted to but I just wasn’t catching my interest. I was hoping something epic or even slightly exciting would happen but it didn’t.
  • I stayed longer than I should have and I wish it was different but the world this was set in didn’t flow with me.
  • I did however like the back story of how the magic disappeared. That was pretty much the only part that I thought was interesting.

Would I recommend this book, this will be the first time I say No but you know what, if you want to give it a shot I say go for it. This might be another case of it was me and not you.

    So for some reason I thought there was another Saturday this month, I guess it would be July 32, lol. Sorry you didn’t like yours this month. It was one I considered reading, but will probably wait a while if I pick it up. Thanks for hosting!

    I am still considering DNF’ing my pick for this month’s To Be Read List as well, but I wnat to give it another chapter or two to see if things improve. Luckily I alreayd reviewed one fo the other boosk that was an option and just posted my review for that one instead. I am sorry to hear this one didn’t work out for you and the backstory was the only interesting parts. It’s sad when books are so slow. I hope your next read will be better!

    Sorry this one didn’t work for you. I’ve had that problem with some of my winners too. I think I voted for this one, and I still do like the cover.

    I didn’t participate this month but I’m linking my review for my May TBR List winner since I didn’t get around to posting it until today. (Bad, bad blogging slump/hiatus!)

      Glad you are back! Slumps are awful.
      The cover is great just doesn’t reflect the book. Which was to bad because I was looking forward to this one.
