~My Thoughts~
Okay, I'm going to try not to be harsh but it being a one star review, it'll no doubt feel like I am.
Literally nothing happens in this installment until the very end and even then, I was unsatisfied. Nothing new has come to light with who murdered their fellow witch and honestly I feel like the characters really don't care. Or maybe because of the time concept in this story makes it feel like they don't care? Or maybe because I feel like these 20-30 something characters are a bunch of naive teenagers. Seriously, some of the situations they get into, they act like a bunch of teenagers! Which is why it's hard to believe one of them just turned 39.
And the time concept, I feel like it's really hard to follow. I honestly don't know when things are happening and when like the last chapter is a month later then the previous chapter, I felt off kilter. It throw me for a loop, how has a month gone by already. What month is it? Seriously, it just doesn't flow right.
Since nothing and I mean, nothing was happening I was ready to quite. How sad is that when there's only six chapters. But I pushed through because there was only six chapters! I feel like the characters are very one dimensional and it's hard for me to believe that Meg has been a witch for 15 years- she feels like a beginner. And the witch concept of the story just doesn't feel strong enough. I just don't know, it just didn't feel well balanced and I felt like we got nowhere. Seriously, I don't know where this story is going.
Overall, I was disappointed. The end finally got some meat to it but with it ending on a cliffhanger, I just couldn't rate this any higher than a 1 star. Again, even the time concept at the end didn't make since. I would go into detail but I don't want to spoil anything. I'm just really glad I bought the bundle of this series when it was on sale. Will I continue? Doubt it.
