 First of all the pacing was extremely slow, it really just dragged on. If I'm reading a 20 chapter excerpt it should not be this hard to finish! I skimmed parts towards the end, I really should not have to do that for something that's only 20 chapters! 
 The only interesting part whatsoever concerning the overall plot and story of the book was the premise. There's incarnations of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and there's their horses. The horses were badass from what I read and the mythology concerning the Four Horsemen was fascinating. Unfortunately not enough of either was provided in the excerpt I read. 
 Also I didn't like any of the characters, I really don't know what it was but they were just blah. Gideon Blake, our main character, was especially boring. I didn't find all of his humor to even e the least bit funny, it was like he was trying way to hard to be hilarious. 
 Like I said earlier though, I'm very sad that I felt this way since I very much wanted to love it. Maybe the rest of the book gets more enjoyable I don't know! 
 Also I adore the cover, just saying. I think it's gorgeous! Just one other plus side to this book. 
 I don't think I'll be buying this when released, however, the excerpt I read kind of failed at drawing me in. I'd still be interested to see how the story plays out though!
