I wanted to love it
Lord I tried to love it. I just had so many problems with so many characters.
1. Tamlin: probably the most ill treated character in all of SJM books. I still couldn’t get over how she screwed up his entire life over locking her up in house. Seriously? Rio the guys heart out, destroy everyone’s faith in him, and then toodles! See ya! And the guy LOVED her. Like ends of the earth Loved. Even in this book he loved her. And she treats him like trash. I just can’t.
2. Nesta: she’s supposed to have this awesome power that she stole from The Cauldron. 80% of the book was building up her damn power. And then when we finally see it? It’s like being told she had a power of Vesuvius proportions only to be shown it was actually like the homemade volcano science project you did as a 5th grader. Like you don’t understand how incredibly anticlimactic it was to be told she was going to do damage only to do absolutely nothing. And what’s with the freaking attitude? Yea you’re no longer human but get over yourself! You’re gorgeous, supposedly powerful, and freaking immortal..STFU already! *eye roll*
3. Elain: basically a doormat with all the personality of a doorknob. Az’s infatuation with her came from left field. Did not feel believable at all! *eye roll*
4. Lucien: served absolutely NO purpose whatsoever to the book. He might as well have not even been in the book. Oh wait he was...for like 10 mins. Then went off on some errand that he didn’t even complete *eye roll*
I could on but I’m too tired. The first book was gold! The second book was so so. This book, I can’t. If I didn’t already pay for it I would’ve stopped reading after chapter 17
