The Obsidian Tower by Melissa Caruso

The Obsidian Tower (Rooks and Ruin, #1)
ARC recieved in exchange from NetGalley for honest review.

Ok, real time... Ugh, this review is hard to write, I'm not actually finished this book but I also really wanted to write this review because feelings. I have a lot of them and it's complicated but also I just really don't want to finish it anytime soon, which I think is also valid? However, I also really don't want to not finish it either? sooooooo complicated.

The Obsidian Tower is well written and well thought out and feels quite intentional. I love almost everything, and I love reading it but I'm also extremely bored. There are lots of fun and DIVERSE characters which I'm living for, the diversity feels so natural which is surprising because there's so much of it. But also this book is very, and I mean VERY politically based, there are no action scenes, anything exciting that happens so far, happens "off-screen." And to be honest, I'm really bored, I have to push myself to keep reading, there's tons of things happening and lots of incredibly well written characters whom I love but also nothing is happening...? I don't know, this book for me but it also really isn't? 

I plan on finishing it eventually but not anytime soon, especially since I'm over 70% through it which is why I feel comfortable writing this. 

3.5/5 stars
