'The North Wind (The Four Winds #1)' by Alexandria Warwick - review

   DNF'd this one, sadly.

Unfortunately, the premise sounded fantastic, but the story and writing never hooked me. While it's technically sound, it bored me to tears, which is obviously a personal preference thing.

Over a decade ago, I tried to read A Court of Thorns and Roses. I never got into that back then because I couldn't stand the sister. Eventually, I'd still like to go back and try again.. but even though that short read wasn't exactly in the forefront of my mind.. the beginning of this story felt questionably similar.

The second thing I noticed.. was that the village seemed to be dealing with a Shadow and Bone situation. Again, far too similar to be ignored.

This is a case where I still might have kept reading if any of the characters had any depth or offered me any emotional connection, but that failed to happen as well. Even the North Wind himself is incredibly bland.
