Lilibet Bombshell's Reviews > Comeuppance Served Cold

I had been highly looking forward to this book, but I found myself disappointed by it.

I believe the issue with my review here is that I don’t necessarily think the book is bad–it just wasn’t for me.

I found the narrative style to be too weak on actual narrative and too strong on descriptions, which is something I dislike in a book because it can easily lean from necessary descriptors into purple prose. The non-linear time frame is something that usually works for me in novels (I greatly enjoy them, actually), but in this novel it grated on my nerves as I felt myself getting bored with the stop-and-go of the book. Every time there was another break in the time frame filled with telling me exposition I sighed heavily and wondered how much longer I had to go in the book. Since this book is less than 200 pages, that isn’t a good thing.

I did, however, greatly enjoy the characters and the overall premise. I just wish it made up for the rest of the book.
