THIS BOOK WAS TORTURE IN CAPITAL LETTERS
NEVER in ALL my life have I took soooo long to read ONE book, this book was IT for me. It really didn't do it for me. I'll start listing all the things why THIS BOOK was torture, not even my worst enemy deserves.
■ POPPY , one of the worst heroines I have ever read, the author tried (very hard, I must admit) to portrayed her as an strong and intelligent woman, but in reality she's annoying, stupid and codependent. She would laugh without reason, there were clues IN FRONT of her about the truth, of who Hawke really was but she was too stupid to pay any attention (really she was clueless 😑).
After counting the times she laughs, giggles or snickers without reason sums up to more or less 25 in total. 😪
He actually bowed, with such elaborate flourish that a laugh crept up my throat.
A hysterical giggle climbed its way up my throat. He honestly had no idea who he stood next to.
Then he moved in that way that always made it hard to believe he wasn’t an Ascended. In a heartbeat, I was in his arms... (In this kind of scenes where he would move fast or his mouth would linger on her neck, she was truly maddening)
“Yes—” She started to dip, almost as if she were sinking into some sort of curtsy, but then stopped halfway. (Magda here, is a pregnant woman bowing before the Prince Casteel and our dear Maiden can't even see that *ROLLING MY EYES*)
■ the LENGTH of this book was HORRORIFIC. The book was LONG, DRAGING AND BORING, the book was like 454 pages and in 200 pages NOTHING HAPPENS, there's a bottomless pit of boredom. This book would have done much better without the 200 pages of NOTHINGNESS.
■ What's with the author at the beginning of the book and leaving the readers lost, without any descriptions or clarification of what her beasts or monsters were, because for the good 15-20% of the book you know nothing of what in the hell are The Ascended, the Descenters, The Craven (you can more or less take a guess they are a hybrid between a zombie and a vampyr) and a Atlantian. If you're writing a FANTASY book, please descriptions are important, they provide they readers with the tools necessary to imagine the world building in our minds!!
■ The cringe and sweetness in this book is in another level of uncomfortable, I had itching and uncontrolled eye rolls, throughout the entire book, I highly NOT recommend this book if you're eating for high risk of vomiting.
“I would do this.” His fingers pressed in, a little harder, a little rougher, and my legs jerked. “I would get inside of you, Poppy. I would taste you. I bet you’re as sweet as honeydew.”
“Honeydew,” he growled. “Just like I said.”
■ NO INTERESTING CHARACTERS but CASTEEL and maybe the Ascended Queen. The other characters were uninteresting, dull and too common.
■ The scene were Casteel feeds Poppy his blood, I'm just wondering if the author asked for the Twilight copyright ©️ , because reading that I asked myself if I was reading FBAA or Twilight. But that's not the only similarity to be honest, there a few others...
■ THE ONLY WORTHY PART OF THIS BOOK OCCURS EXACTLY from 88% onwards. That's when the book starts getting interesting, at the end of the book. When all the killing, truth unveiling and plot twists take place, the rest is BORING.
DISAPPOINTED, DISSATISFIED and BORED are my feelings with this book, I had a hard time finishing it (even my family was fed up with my for all my ranting...😂).
So I don't recommend this book, because it's not a light reading, and it surely bored me to death.
Now happy reading everyone!! ❤🖤
P.S. Sorry for my ranting and thanks for bearing with me!! 💗💗
