I am a firm believer that books should allow readers the chance to escape reality and their troubles. Where they can feel like their problems aren't so bad and if these characters can handle their situations then so can we. However, Arcana by Paul Kane did not give me that feeling.
I feel like the story could be so much better without the prologue because it did not drag me in and make me hold my breath wanting to know why the world is the way it is. Instead, it had me asking why I was reading this story.
I still don't get why the group bombed a shopping mall or why magic is the way it is or what the heck they used to take out a bit of the mall? Or even why it went from a mall bombing to a blind man reading tarot cards? Then it went to something completely different with who I am guessing was supposed to be the main guy. I kind of gave up reading after that point because like I said earlier the prologue turned me off.
1.5 out of 5 stars.
I'm giving it an extra half star because it was great detail just not enough to really wow me.
