My reading rut continues and Malice is the next book to fall in to the abyss. I was excited to read the entire The Faithful and the Fallen series but I won't be advancing beyond this point.

I am not sure why I am failing so hard on fantasy books. It could be that I'm just burnt out on the genre, have shorter patience (or attention), or maybe I want a payoff without having to read 1500 pages. The unfortunate thing is that I have no significant fault for Malice.

The story was unfolding in a slow and deliberate pace. There were multiple viewpoints across the world, however I found that those outside of Corban's viewpoint everyone else was a nameless blur that I couldn't keep straight.

I won't leave a rating on the book because my rut shouldn't impact the rating of the story. Sorry Malice, I wanted to like you more.
