The Last Bloodcarver by Vanessa Le

dark slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.0

A promising premise that turned out lacking depth. The use of medically-informed healing magic drew me in at the beginning, but wasn't enough to prop up flat characters, or to convince me I wasn't reading an unedited first draft. The introduction of a sudden (and I compelling) love interest two-thirds into the book drove me over the edge. I mostly skimmed until the end.
