I rarely ever don’t finish a book. There are only a few books I haven’t finished reading in my life, and none of those books fall into the realm of fantasy and science fiction. Reading Feather Bound really put my book finishing ideology to the test, as I found myself wanting this book to end after the first chapter.
Make no mistake Sarah Raughley has writing skill, but it feels wasted in an overly cliched and predictable plot. There is no significant worldbuilding to accompany the plot, and additionally the main character Deanna is not likeable … and based off her moral stances and what she’s fighting against … she should be VERY likeable.
People who enjoy Paranormal Romance or Young Adult Books may be attracted to Feather Bound, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking. Personally, I was not a fan of the story.
