The Breaker's Concubine - Ann Mayburn

 

Okay.. Nope. I didn't like this one. It had some racy, erotic scenes here and there, but that's about it.

I didn't believe the bond/love with the 2 main characters at all. And it's kind of hard to accept that there is love & devotion there, when you're still sharing your bed with someone else.

The way this one started, I was under the impression that this was going to be a great fantasy/sci-fi/erotic romance. But the plot fell flat for me. Way flat.

And I don't like for how majority of the book, the main characters remain in their heads even when in each other's presence. This book was way too much inner monologue and not nearly enough dialogue. Therefore robbing me (the reader) of the experience because I'm being told everything rather than shown through great story telling.

So I would not recommend this read. And $6.49 for 146 pages, is absolutely ridiculous. Thank Gawd it's lendable. So I would strongly advise you to borrow not buy this one if you're still curious about reading it.
