it was ok

Okay, here is the thing... I read over 300 pages of nothing. Nothing happened in this book.

You guys always tell me: "keep going, the second one is better", "keep going, it gets better", but if we have to keep telling everyone it only gets better after we invest over 500 pages and 10+ reading hours, does it really?

It's counter productive to sit down to write a fantasy trilogy if only 1/3 of it is worth reading. I am currently doing a fantasy month and I am more disappointed by the second with all the popular reads. Anyways, here are things that pissed me off in this book:

> The fae keep repeating "This little human is going to kick your ass" out loud, because they are not only her enemies but they also need to reinforce the I am not like other girls stereotype otherwise this wouldn't be a fantasy book.

> The constant ass kissing from people who supposedly hate you doesn't add up

> This reads like YA fanfiction

> The guy looked at her from a distance for the first time and she felt her p#ssy was being licked (yeap, that is legit the sentence we got) home boy is a magician

> There was no connection or reasoning behind her attraction for him. Oh he is the big bad wolf, everyone is scared of him... All he did was stare at her from a distance and apparently mind lick her p#ssy. This felt a lot like insta love.

> Terrible world building, mediocre writing that felt confusing, out of synch and choppy. She talked and talked and talked but didn't say a thing.

> The female main character had zero personality, as usual.

> The male main character is laughable, at the end of this book they end up at the savage lands. Bit of a cliffhanger, maybe I will pick up the second one, maybe I won't. We will see.

Ana Well... now I don't want to read it x)


message 2: by Kim (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kim I'm living for your reviews. 😍 I loved the first few books in this series, but I'm pretty sure they were independently published and I think this whole series would've really benefited from a good editor. So much potential, IMO.


Shannon Bradbury It’s honestly the SAME cycle in the following books. Very ‘same shit, just a different location’ thing. Extremely annoying and boring AF. I got through the 3rd hoping it would get better and finally gave up.

Kseniya V. This one was on my TBR but I think I'll remove it 🙆🏼‍♀️ there were a few trustworthy people on bookstagram that recommended this to me, however I now trust Julia more. So there's that.


Kara Reynolds Read the first 3 books until I was like wtf
