Review of 'Mask of Shadows' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

I went into this with pretty high hopes but they were quickly dashed. I didn't find much of anything that happened interesting and I kept wishing that the action would pick up and the main character would stop whining. The story being told in first person didn't help. Some authors can make it work but I was so tired of being in Sal's head that I found myself zoning out many times. I'd give it a 1.5 according to Goodreads since I'm stuck between I didn't like it and it was ok but rounding up because it I didn't totally not like it. Just mostly.

I was hoping for a new fantasy author to follow but unless I hear something compelling from a trusted book-friend, I'll pass on the sequel.

I received the book from the publisher via NetGalley.
