use I would lose interest and stop reading.

The new characters introduced were not fleshed out enough. The travel scenes became repetitive. The battles scenes were blah. All of a sudden, I realized I went from loving a book to just wanting it to end. If it hadn’t been for that great first half, I might have quit.

I was skimming through most pages and just wanting to get to the end.

And the end...awful, disappointing, unrewarding...and unrealistic of the characters.30:T559,In a way, this could be a review of 2 books. The first half of this book had me all in. I loved the premise, the characters were interesting and I was eager to explore this intriguing world created. I love dystopian books and fantasy so the mixture of the two felt different and fresh. The love story was compelling. I’m the type of reader where I have to really care about the characters to get into the book and enjoy it. I don’t read for a pretty turn of phrase or to applaud someone’s writing technique. I read to be taken away to another reality, to feel something and be transported. So yeah, the first half of this book felt good and went by extremely quick.

Then what happened? I’m really not sure at what point this book became boring and seemed to plod along. All of a sudden, it was taking me forever to just get through a chapter because I would lose interest and stop reading.
