's review

it was ok
bookshelves: dnf, dark

DNF @ 62%

I'm throwing in the towel. I can't continue any more which is making me sad because I never DNF. I somewhat enjoyed the first book. Yes, I struggled with Crown of Lies but the story picked up. With Throne of Truth it just keeps dragging on and on. Whenever something is about to happen it gets derailed constantly with stupid excuses just to further the story. I was bored and I also early on figured out who Nameless was. Now I only needed to know Penn's backstory and then it was too late. I wasn't committed to the story or its characters. I know it's fiction but certain things like the criminal law justice and how a chief police captain can cheat the system was too far fetched and ridiculous.
I've enjoyed other books by Pepper Winters. I love the Indebted and Monsters in The Dark series and this little hiccup won't stop me from reading her books.
Don't let my review keep you from the duet. Throne of Truths just wasn't my cuppa.

I was also struggling with the first book. It just couldn't hold my interest until around 65-70% and that's almost too late.
