Rtc, quite disappointed ☹️

---

I DNF'ed this book at 50%. You may ask why since I enjoyed the first one so much and there is quite a variety of reasons.

First off, it was very kissy and talked a bunch about certain...stuff. It never outright said what it was implying but beat around the bush in such a way that it was obvious. There just came a point where I did not feel comfortable reading any longer so that is partially why I quit.

The other reason why I quit has to do with a worldbuilding thing. This book is set in a fantasy world in what is likely a past time (tech was not very advanced.) However, it got very preachy on political stuff pertaining to current matters. I felt like it was talking down on a lot of people who may have different opinions but still accept the opinions on others.

All in all, I am quite disappointed, especially since the first book was one of my favorites from last year.



Rating: 1/5

Language: d***

Romance: very kissy

Spiritual: did not finish

Violence: did not finish

Note: very modern-day political (set in a fantasy world)

I'll be posting the official excerpt and blurb on my blog sometime in late september so I can't say much but they said, and I quote, "The Cruel Prince meets Ash Princess in this thrilling fantasy"... and I can't imagine how that's going to work so... that's interesting

If you read the first book tell me what you thought about it XD

*Thank you to the publisher for sending me an ARC to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*
