I recieved a free copy of the ebook Journey to Water's Heart to review.
I honestly didn't have high hopes for this book, honestly. The reviews weren't great so that had me worried off the bat and the introduction is bland, boring, and terribly written. The first few chapters aren't that great either, they're in desperate need of an editor. There are so many spelling and grammar errors in this book it drove me nuts! But, the story is, for the most part, pretty good. It's slow to start but once it gets going it's a pretty enjoyable young adult fantasy novel. To call it an "epic" fantasy novel is laughable. At best, this is a passable fantasy novel from a writer who has potential but lacks refinement of her craft. The book is seriously overpriced especially when considering the quality. This book reads like the rough draft of a potentially great story. The elements are there, the potential is there, but it needs polishing. All that said, this book isn't horrible, and if you can pick it up at a large enough discount-say, $0.99, it wouldn't be a bad purchase.
