en-Ninth House - Leigh Bardugo review
I had real high expectations about this one. It's such a stunning book and have you seen those edges! They are covered by pretty snakes. It's such an eyecatcher. I couldn't resist this one, I was so eager to start his one.
But I have to admit that I wasn't that enthusiast as I kept on reading. I just couldn't get into the story. The beginning was rather odd, and I couldn't figure out where this story was going. This feeling unfortunately never faded for me. It just wasn't my style, I guess.
The story itself was professionally written and incredibly detailed. The scenes are written very vividly, and you had the feeling that you were part of that scene. You can perfectly imagine how everything looked like based on the details the author gives you in the book/
Alex' character is kind of strange. She has an odd vibe floating around her, and I cannot describe what it was that made me dislike her. She's not very pleasant and egocentric most of the times. I just could not put myself in her position. So, these were some little things that made me feel a little withhold towards the story.
Long Story short: The story is 'okay' if you ask me. It just wasn't for me. The spaces and scenes were well written and made it a little interesting.
