Of Metal and Wishes

The blurb on the front cover of this book touts it as vivid, grisly and beautiful. I found it to be none of these things. Perhaps if I were 14 I would have enjoyed this; I'm not, and I didn't. I don't get it, Powell's is pushing it and the reviews are all super gushy. I don't see it. I also have got to stop starting YA trilogies. Inevitably they are all awful and I get no payoff of any kind for slogging through the damn thing. Waste of time.
