Does this seem like comma splicing to you:

Far from being a thrilling tale of suspense, I had trouble reading all the way to the end.

Please let me know what you think

A comma splice connects two independent phrases. That being said, this is not a comma splice, as far as I'm concerned. I would get a recheck if an editor claimed it was.
