Review: Raining Embers by Jessica Dall

From Goodreads:

Palmer Tash always follows the path of least resistance. He has an unusual disability involving his hearing. But in theocratic Latysia, being different isn’t a good thing, so he conceals his problem.

Brier Chastain’s malady is even more debilitating, and she often must take to her bed for long periods. Her days are spent in meaningless pursuits as she awaits an arranged marriage.

When Palmer and Brier are kidnapped on the same night, they meet and discover that their so-called disabilities are actually budding powers. They are the incarnations of Order and Chaos. With their country on the brink of war, the two must step into their predestined roles and learn to take control of their own destinies. 


My Thoughts:
I really do struggle to read fantasy. For me, there has to be something really outstanding to get me to love it. Unfortunately, this book didn't have that. I kept stopping and starting, never really able to get a good flow going or garner a strong interest.
The writing is strong, so that wasn't the problem. I just couldn't connect with the world or the characters. I do really want to read other books by Dall that fit more into my genre preferences, but this one just wasn't for me.

I read this book on request by the author in exchange for an honest review.
