The Marked Girl

The Marked Girl started off slow – and it is not necessarily a bad thing when you have to set up the world and all. But the story continued at its glacial pace, with not much for development and a kind of generic storyline. Caelum and this world is connected via an old magic, scrolls that let the passage of this world to Caelum open through portals. Now, if you look at the fantasy aspect, it had potential – I was waiting for more exciting things to happen. But then this book gets stuck in that old rut of developing an insta-romance where it wasn’t needed. I couldn’t even be convinced that they had some ‘bond’ that would make Cedric question his decision. Also, not much is known about his character, despite him being given a POV, which doesn’t bode well for such a storyline. Overall, it is pretty generic and while it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great either.

I hated this book so much. The saddest part was it was the fault of the main character
