This Is Where It Ends

5 Words: Not my cup of tea.
I had really been looking forward to this one. There was so much hype, I was seeing it everywhere, I'd heard good things...
But.
I knew it wasn't looking so good when I was ready to DNF by the second chapter. Up until then it was just dull and confusing. But then it picked up a little, started to get more interesting... And quickly trailed back to just dull and confusing.
I found the characters to be pretty one-dimensional. I couldn't even tell them apart, never mind connect with any of them.
It felt like there was a lot of telling, very little showing and a one-voice-fits-all cast of characters. It was such a shame.
I received a copy of this for free via NetGalley for review purposes.

"I had just been about to DNF this and then things go interesting. But all of the characters sound exactly the same, and there are so many of them that I just can't keep track. I only kind of know who's speaking because of where they are."

"I really don't care much for this. The characters are all exactly the same, I can't tell who's who."

"It feels like it's trying too hard to be "diverse", but that just makes it feel pretty patronising."
