Upon reading the blurb of this novel, I thought it sounded exciting and interesting. 
 Upon finishing the novel, I'd revised that opinion. 
 This book was fine. There was nothing inherently wrong with the plot, setting, prose or characters. However, it very simply didn't grab me, interest me or intrigue me when reading. Had it been longer, I'm not sure I would have finished it, but it was short enough that the lack of interest I felt wasn't fatal. 
 Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.
