Slumber

I'm giving Slumber 3.5/5 stars.

It had a totally different concept to anything I've ever read before and it was certainly gripping enough.

I loved Wolfe and I liked Rogan but she got on my nerves sometimes. She came across as being strong and determined but she very often (and at times predictively) became the damsel in distress. Which annoyed me because she was just being stupid.

Overall, I liked the story and the writing was very good. I've read Samantha's Lunarmorte series and actually proffered that. But I still enjoyed this book. I kinda wish it was just a stand alone though. I don't think it needs a sequel.

I definitely thought the premise of this book was really intriguing and I looked forward to reading about the tension between the main girl and guy. This book did pretty well executing a whole fantasy world and just taking the reader along for the ride, though, at times, geographically it was a bit hard to follow. The main snag for me were the characters. I applaud the author when it to portraying the main characters flaws. However, they were made so obvious from the very beginning and were continuously pointed out by other characters that it just felt like their development was dragging on and on throughout the book. For example, no spoilers, but for the main character, I'd say her biggest flaw was pride and it led her into constant situations where she wanted to be independent but ended up just making herself a damsel in distress way too many times.

Overall I really liked the plot, definitely appreciated the banter and tension between the characters but I would not pick up the second book because the ending of this book was just too transparent and disappointing.
