Foundling (Monster Blood Tattoo, #1)

I was so bored with the book, I never even finished it. DON'T PICK IT UP! The saying is so true: Don't judge a book by its cover. It looked interesting to me at first. But I got through a good portion of the book, and nothing had really happened. There was no hook to this story. I need a decent hook that makes me want to know why a certain event is going to take place. Something that makes me say, "Wait, why are they in danger/being suicidal/anything suspenseful. What happened? Who are theyy?" Stuff like that. I don't really want background info at the beginning. It has to be sprinkled throughout the book, and it has to be relevant. Like, okay the orphanage thing was important. But Gosling? Ugh. Boring bully, got that. Move on.

I totally judged this book by the cover, too! And the ridiculous series title has three words that all imply extreme danger and action--something which is never delivered.

If you didn't like it that's fair enough. But don't say "don't pick it up" just because of your personal opinion. Some people can actually appreciate a beautifully written and well developed tale of adventure.
