Everyone knows it's important to tolerate the differences in the people around us. But there's a difference between tolerance and acceptance, and in New Peiling, that difference defines the lives of its hybrid citizens--those humans who share their soul with a fairy. Life is hard for hybrids in the post-Cataclysm metropolis of New Peiling. Most live out their entire lives in the slums of the city's lower sector, struggling every day with violence and poverty with little hope of ever improving their lot in life.    So it's no surprise that the rate of suicides among hybrids is by far higher than the human population, but when Fergus Irvine returns to his apartment one afternoon to find his best friend and roommate hanging in his bedroom, he knows better. Unable to accept that Flynn would kill himself, Fergus decides he must find out for himself what really happened. Drawn deeply into the intrigues of the city, he must survive arson, anti-hybrid vigilantes, airship crashes, ravenous fairies, and his catty kind-of-girlfriend to peel back the layers of lies and find the truth about Flynn... and himself.… (altro)

*I won a copy of this book via Goodreads Giveaways*

Unfortunately, this was another DNF. Stories about fairies aren't usually my thing, but I thought I'd give something new a try. The subject matter has nothing to do with why I didn't finish this, but the writing definitely does. It's choppy, stilted, and there are too many unneccesary adverbs, which slow down the writing even more. The story also doesn't have much of a hook to it.

I got this free from the goodreads giveaway page.

I had a hard time getting into this book, it is very much a set up for books to follow and as such it moved incredibly slowly. The world building was okay but slightly confusing at times and although there are a wealth of details, sometimes maybe too many details, about all the many & varied characters I never really cared about any of them, not even Fergus. Perhaps it was too much set up and too little story for me to get involved.
When it was finally revealed how and why Flynn was hung I missed it completely and had to go back to read it again because it felt glossed over. What, to me, should have been the ultimate point of the book, given the title, was treated almost as an aside.
I do think the world has potential and hopefully the next book will improve upon the emotional development of the characters.

I really wanted to like this book given that it is self-published and I was excited to have the opportunity to help out a new author. In the end however there was just something lacking for me. ( )

Sometimes, you gotta do things that aren’t easy for the sake of everyone. You’ve been sheltered like a little kid, but now you know things are going on, and you don’t have a choice. You’re involved.
“You should keep an eye on who tries to get close to you,” she finally said, turning her eyes to the front of the shop.
“Because they might know something?”
“Because they might want something.”
Molecules of dust were still gently drifting down, down, down through the gritty light, undisturbed in their meandering tracks. The bass vibrated through the floor, and he could hear shrill laughter. He closed his eyes tightly, feeling a little like his stomach was trying to cram itself up and out of his throat. Just below the skin, everything was burning and tingling. He pressed his knuckles to his eyes, taking shuddering, empty breaths.
“We’re going to die,” Pip declared.
“Maybe,” Terry replied.
“Damn,” was all Fergus managed.
Three shook her head. “We won’t die.”
