This might just be a pet peeve of mine, but it also bugs me a little when authors try to insert their fictional bestseller in the same world as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and so forth. I think it's because I know nothing about Kane's world- none of the exerpts from his book give me any real clues- and the main character accepts all this a little too easily. I'm a huge reader, and who hasn't envisioned going inside their favorite story and meeting the main character? But I just can't seem to get myself invested in the story.
This seemed like something I would enjoy. Sorry to say, I'm bowing out of this one.
My opinion was not affected by the free copy. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley for providing this book in return for my honest and unbiased opinion. It’s writing like that that makes me love to read. One thing I really enjoyed was this author has an awesome writing style that felt smooth and witty to me. So I’m fully expecting book two and I will be reading it once it comes out. You’re left hanging with no real ending and a thousand questions. The star I took away was because it took me until about 30% of the way through to really get into it and also for the ending. But then, that’s the type of thing that makes her so human. Like she learns something and then two pages later she forgets and has to relearn it. She was kind of a pain sometimes though because she flip flops and it’s a little annoying a few times. It was funny, had lots of fun details, and Cupcake/Edie/Edena was so human that I couldn’t help but love her. I’ll admit it took what seemed like forever to really get hooked, but once I was, bam!! I just couldn’t stop.
