Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This reads like a teenager wrote it. The vocabulary is limited and sometimes just a little off the mark. Sometimes it comes across as if she used a thesaurus and chose words that sound fancy, with no regard for the nuanced meaning. There is also the odd glaring grammatical error that makes it difficult to take this writing seriously. Who edited this? Similar to the vocabulary problem, the characters display a limited, and also sometimes misplaced, range of affect, as if the author lacks emotional insight. As for the story line, I was bored by the end of chapter 2. It is formulaic and predictable. The gift of a good genre author is to make even a genre that is supposed to be predictable (like young adult fantasy and some romance novels) feel fresh and fun to read. I was hopeful that the empath angle might be the fresh element, but it did not succeed. I will not buy the next one.
