Pale Wolves by Thomas Hulse sounded so intriguing and dark. The cover was spectacular, and it had armies of the dead that grew claws and fangs. I so wanted to read this, but the publishers approving my request on NetGalley not even five minutes after I requested it should have been my first clue of disappointment.
Don't ask me what the opening sentence was because even though I just read it three hours ago, I could not tell you. There were so many fragmented sentences and no varieties to the sentence structure. I wanted to give up on this book after the first page but decided to give it a chance. Maybe there will be more showing and less telling later on, but no. The on;y reason I DNFed this at 14% instead of 1% was that my Kindle refused to let me read any other book.
If the author had just varied the sentences and showed me more of what the characters were doing maybe I could have loved the story. However, I could not connect to any of the characters, and suddenly two of the main characters are having sex with each other, and he is married to a pregnant wife that is when I was like "yeah no."
1 star.
