Mel's Reviews > The Last Bloodcarver

First, a thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an eARC of this book.

Y'all, I came in with such high hopes and ended so disappointed. I think I would have DNF'd this book if not for the sunk-cost fallacy (and also because I kept desperately hoping it would get better).

The entire experience was just very "meh" for me. The characters had no lasting impact on me, every one of the "twists" I easily saw coming, and I felt like the setting of a futuristic... past?? (best way I can describe it) wasn't executed very well so it left me feeling mostly confused and distracted.

I know this is Le's debut novel so there is always room for improvement, but I am not sure I would read His Mortal Demise when it comes out.

Maybe if I hadn't read so many books this would have been a more impressive novel, but everything felt so "been there done that"... I just wasn't really interested and barely made it through to the end.
