Blood of Olthetta by Aaron Volner
2.0
I received an ARC of Blood of Olthetta from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a purely subjective review, as I'm a reader that needs a bit more of a hook to really sink into a story. After reading the blurb and looking at the pretty cover (it's gorgeous!), I was really excited to dig in.
In the end, I honestly just didn't connect. At about 9% in, much of the story was still in dialogue and I couldn't find any strong anchors to connect to the character or the world. I prefer a little more development to really get immersed. May be great for my readers who prefer stronger dialogue and sparse world-building.
