Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
2.0
2 out of 5 stars
I had so much hope for this book and wanted to love it so much but that didn't really happen... Don't get me wrong I enjoy the story but I just have some things that I didn't like.
I didn't really enjoy the writing, the author was doing a lot of telling rather than showing. The writing made it hard for me to picture what was going on.
The characters weren't well developed and I don't feel like I know them at all. We also never really learned about their pasts and what has made them the people they are. I just feel like we know nothing about them and their pasts.
The relationship also wasn't very developed and felt very instalove. One second they wanted to kill each other and then the next they were in love and it just didn't do it for me.
Overall, the book was boring to me.
