Uh oh, I rarely dnf books but I just had to dnf this one. Not that it's bad, I just wasn't invested in any aspect of the book and did not care to keep reading at all. I can see why so many people like this book, but I just found myself very indifferent to it. I didn't connect to any of the characters, the plot is mostly the main character wandering around various mysterious rooms, and it feels like the author was trying to fit in so many different elements of mythologies and lore into one book that it just didn't work.

I picked it up because I liked Hunted by Meagan Spooner so much, and I thought this book would be similar. And it does have the same basic premise, but then it is quite different. I got about 50% into the book before I just couldn't anymore. I read the last couple of chapters just to find out what happened.

It seems a bit of bad luck that my second book of the year is a dnf (considering I don't dnf very often) but it is what it is, and I'll find better books!
