ARC BOOK REVIEW: Severed Stone (Souls of the Stones 0.5) by Kelly Walker

Severed Stone by Kelly Walker
Series: Souls of the Stones 0.5
Genres: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance
Publication Date: June 2013
My Rating: ♥♥
Their story should have been a fairytale, but someone is playing a dangerous game that can only end in heartbreak.

When Ciorstan awakes alone in a field, far from home and more than a little confused, it won't be the strangest thing to happen that day. Ignoring both her intuition and a mysterious but handsome stranger's warning, she allows a dashing prince to take her home to his palace.

Agreeing to marry the prince was her second mistake.

Her next one will rip an entire kingdom apart. Sometimes, true love can be a tragedy with devastating consequences.

SEVERED STONE is a prequel novella, 155 pages in length and can be read at any point during the Souls of the Stones series without fear of spoilers.


My Thoughts

What a bummer!

I was happy to received this book from NetGalley as I've read Souls of the Stones Series and liked it very much.

First few pages of the book got me hooked... it was kinda creepy.. I was like... "oh witches, kings, queen and prince's... but then it went down hill.. I don't know what happened but I just couldn't connect with all the characters. You see, it's important for me that I connect or to atleast understand them... and in here the story was not fully developed plus the love quadrangle did nothing for me. I don't get why all the prince's wants her. I was not emotional invested in the story. It just doesn't make any sense..

Don't get me wrong, It's a well written story and we get to see why the region is split into three but it didn't grab me like in the other series and found myself skimming the entire book.

Oh wells..  This is a great addition to the Souls of the Stones series.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
