Hall of Smoke by H.M. Long
3.0
I really struggled with this book… it was unfortunately one of the books that put me in a reading slump…
The Hall of Smoke follows the warrior priestess, Hessa on her journey of redemption.
While the plot of this book was unique and a wonderful idea I felt as though it wasn’t executed to its full potential. I felt as though it was captivating and exciting when something big would happen, but the many chapters between felt like a haze.
Unfortunately I also couldn’t bring myself to care much about the characters… even the main character seemed bland. I never learned anything personal about her. I wanted to learn so much about her past, a clear idea of how old she was, and more internal dialogue.
Overall I would have to give this book 2 stars. The ending was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it, however that was around the final 100 pages… which left over half of the book not enjoyed. While I will probably read the next book I would not recommend it very highly.
