Review of "The Sorcery Code" by Dima Zales

Recently I was approached by a company to read and review a new fantasy novel, in exchange for receiving it for free.  You can imagine my excitement as I am an avid reader, especially of this genre.  As I settled in and began to read "The Sorcery Code" by Dima Zales, the first thing that really caught my attention was the writing style.  The long and short of it was that I was not impressed.  It seemed immature in the complexity of the sentences, as well as the subject matter for the first hundred pages or so.  It was incredibly hard for me to get past the fact that every time we read a chapter from Blaise, that his thoughts eventually turn to Gala's beauty, and how he just can't believe how stunning she is. Likewise, Gala's innocence is a little too exaggerated and childlike for my taste.  Each chapter being devoted to a single character's POV was interesting, however, it is something that I have seen done more successfully in other novels.  Overall I feel like this book has potential, but is was potential never fully realized.  #SorceryCode
