Sinth Seeker by Pearl Tate

3 Stars

This novel was poorly written and edited, with multiple typos per page in the ARC version of this manuscript. The world building in this novel was minimal, as it takes place largely in a vague location on Earth. The characterization was somewhat clumsy, and the development of the romantic relationship was pretty good, considering the clumsy writing. The plot and pacing is where this novel shines, with me reading it in one sitting because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. There was almost no angst in this novel but the stakes were very high, which tends to be one of my preferred narrative structures for a romance novel. This novel uses the Fated Mates trope and the Zombie Apocalypse trope. The plot and pacing of this novel rates four stars, the characterization and development of the romantic relationship rates three stars, the world building rates two stars and the egregious wiriting and editing mistakes rate one star. This is this author's second published series, and she should have access to a critique partner or good beta readers at this point in her career to catch a lot of these typos or editing errors, if professional editing is financially unfeasible. This novel ends on a Happy For Now ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a plus of this author's work. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy sci-fi romance and don't mind plentiful editing errors. I really did enjoy this story, but I will not be buying myself a keeper copy of this novel until the quality control problems are fixed.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
