— feeling confused
The Sin Eater’s Daughter - Melinda Salisbury

So...I don't normally write updates as I work through a book.  But this one called for it.


I am almost 80 pages in, have met (what seems like) all the pertinent characters, have a bit of understanding about the world and lore, and......nothing is happening.

 

Literally nothing is happening.  There is no suspense, no plot development, nothing.  It feels like I am reading Twylla's diary....that of a young girl with nothing to say.  Not a good sign!

 

I am going to give this to 100 pages, roughly a third of the way through.  And if nothing happens between now and then, I'm gonna have to call it.
