Really bad writing quality, I can’t believe the ratings are so high on goodreads. I’m just expressing my opinion, so unless you also didn’t like it I’d not keep reading this post, because I hate when people talk shit about my favorite book lol… Anyways, the main character, Violet is the most annoying insufferable whiny girl I’ve everrrrr read about. The “chosen” trope was honestly very overused, Violet apparently has a bone Illness but Rebeca never mentioned it on the book. So her fans and her thinks that I have a crystal ball to guess?! I just thought she was very ANNOYING. She could at least actually train and improve instead of waiting for her 7ft boyfriend to save her or poisoning her enemies please. Also the thunder thing while they have love is very cringy sorry, I hated it. The world building is horrible and the plot is messy. I wanted to know more about the school system but the author just skipped through it. The best part of the book is for sure the dragons. The characters are very basic with no personality or depth…they felt like exactly what they are (fictional). I like books that makes me feel like I personally know the characters. That’s more of a rant than a review. And apparently the second book is even worst according to some of my friends… And the author is very problematic, honestly Sarah just Maas 2. But to call her Sarah j Maas is actually an insult to Sarah because I actually like almost all of her books…
I’ve read 45 pages of forth wing and put it down. I will prob return it to the library without finishing it. I actually thought it was a debut novel because of the writing style. It just felt so ham fisted. I don’t think I can do it for 500+ pages. It felt very YA and as far as I can tell it’s not classified as YA. I’m kinda in a fantasy reading slump at the moment so I might try it again in the future but it’s a no for now.
I highly recommend “the poppy war” by rf kuang if u haven’t read it yet. The writing is beautiful and is starts of strong! Is very politics heavy and no romance, but the relationships between the characters makes up for it. Literally changed my life lol
That one is on my list! I’ve heard so many people rave about the poppy war. I’ll have to bump it up the priority list :)
