Believing in Blue | 
bailedI got about 100 pages in, and still couldn't find enough interest or motivation to keep going. It just seems to stretch on and on. For a while I thought we were going to jump into the thick of the plot, but then the brakes were slammed and things just puttered along again.
A few more chapters in, and things seem to be going more smoothly. That beginning is still rough, though. The POV shift (and plot details beyond the vague usual important person of prophecy) help. The vocabulary and descriptions are also kinda improving.
I'm a few chapters in, and kinda wondering why this is adult and not YA. Which I say as a teen librarian. There's too many internal explanations (as adults, we don't need so much narration to explain her home life, and can understand with scenes showing the situation), and not enough of what you need there to be more narration of (Why did we not read about her getting her wings? Feels like a chapter or two was torn out from the beginning).
The release date for this is actually a couple days from now, but we already have it, so I'm excited. It's another one of my collection development recommendations.
