Good story but lacking something.

The story line was very good and I liked the way the author switched voices, back and forth between Andrea and Mart.  I thought it moved very slowly throughout most of the book, and was easy to put down (not a desired characteristic of a good book!) until the very end. What most disappointed me though was finding this book listed under "Christian Fiction" and yet there little mention of God, faith or walking with the Lord through our problems until the very end. There wasn't even any real wrestling with the Lord to indicate there was a spiritual battle going on. It felt like the faith/God part was tacked on at the very end to justify it being called Christian Fiction. I was disappointed and am now hesitant to read other books by this author.

Good story. Looking forward to the sequel. Needs more character development.

I received a copy from the Author in return for an honest review.  While I enjoyed the story of Alexa and Zane, I feel it could have been a little better. I feel the characters needed more depth, and that maybe there should have been some kind of big "wow" moment, that I just didn't find.  I would still recommend this story as it is a sweet story.

The story was good but when it came to a interesting or exciting part, she didn't give details.  I was disappointed in the story as a whole.

This book was good but it felt like it could have been better.  I love comics and i love history so this was right up my alley but after reading and reading this book it just seemed to be lacking something that would set it apart.  It wasn't a disappointment but with a talent like Matt Fraction. i guess I had my expectations set a little too high.

Good story and I liked the character but lacking in complexity of plot and in-depth character development.  Few minor characters with little development for the reader to care for them one way or another.

Sweet story, but I think the author could have built out the story and characters better. Has very good potential.

the story is good but it leaves a few holes. nothing important but it makes you wonder why there was empathise on some characters when they didn't lead to anything.

While I thought this was a decent story, with an interesting plot, I felt that it was missing something in the way of excitement. I wouldn't say it was boring just wanted something a bit more from it.

The story was good. I would have liked a bigger plot in the story. It leaves you wishing for some answers, unless those will be coming in a sequel.

The story was good just wish there was more to it. Once you get into the character's the story is over

I wish there was more to this story. The characters have great potential. If this wasn't marketed as flash fiction it would make a solid foundation for a story, maybe not a short story but a good story. The plot is there unfortunately the details weren't. It feels like the characters are floating around in space somewhere. If the author gives us a sequel to this that would be great.

I received an ARC of this novel for review and I must give my honest opinion. After reading this book I have to give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I had a lot of excitement going into this story, I think it had a lot of potential to be a great story, however, I was disappointed with the end result. Im going to start by saying that overall I did enjoy this book and was entertained at times but there were some flaws in the story that made me give it a lower rating.

First of all, this book slams you with 12 characters within the first few chapters that you need to keep track of in order to follow the story. The characters were all introduced at once and it kept taking me out of the story because I had to keep stopping and going back to see who was who. Especially since 6 of the characters all had names that started with the same letter. It was a mess to follow.

Also with so many characters the author attempted to jump between POVs and it disrupted the flow and chopped everything up. I think that this hindered any of the character development. All of the characters seemed to be one note throughout the entirety of the story. It lacked complex development that draws readers into the characters stories.

The entire book I was waiting for something happen that drew me in but the story flat lined at the climax. It felt rushed and predictable. I was waiting for an epic story that never happened. I was disappointed in the plot and the characters, however, there was a lot of potential for the story. I think if this story focused on one point of view and growth as a character then the novel would have been much more enjoyable. I didn't connect to the characters or the story which left me disappointed. I was waiting for Jael to be the warrior that everyone said she was but I found her whiny, and weak. She seemed just to be a normal girl lacking extraordinary skill.

Overall, I think the story has potential and it was entertaining, but it missed the mark for me as a fantasy novel. I was anticipating a kickass heroine and came across something much less.

I think the book had a good story and some solid potential, but it lacks polish. The narrative jumps around so much that it is hard to figure out who's point of view you are reading. I'll agree with another review that this books lacks a climax but it does set up the next book for an interesting story. Some story points were rushed and it felt like it broke up the narrative to some degree. I think it's a good first novel and I do look forward to reading more from Johnny.

This could have been a very good story, unfortunately, there just didn't seem to be any depth to it. You skipped into the surface but thoughts, reasonings, background all seemed to be missing.

I liked the story and it held my interest. But the story ended a bit wierd. I felt there was something missing in the end. Maybe
the author should write a part 2 book on these same characters.

I don't know what to say about this book except it could've been better. Still a good book but there was definitly something missing for me.
