Heir of Lies, Mallory McCartney

A 2*

I got a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. The opinions included in this review are my own and are in no way affected by the exchange.

I regret to say that I didn’t like this book. I didn’t like the story, I didn’t like the characters and I didn’t like the way the story was told. That doesn’t mean the writing was bad per se.

M. McCartney builds a world and inhabits it with characters with a few strokes of a pen.

But…

I found that the characters were presented in an incredibly fast fashion and each detail of their stories told starting on the first pages.

The story flows slowly, too slowly and the constant switch between the characters didn’t help with me being already bored with the story.

I want to say again that the writing was good, but it is the story that didn’t click with me and I just wanted to skip through it all to get to the end of the book.
