Love the idea of the plot, love the idea of the mc sacrificing herself for her twin brother and continuing to be a prisoner all**spoiler alert** Dnf.
Love the idea of the plot, love the idea of the mc sacrificing herself for her twin brother and continuing to be a prisoner all those years for him… But this was just badly executed. The characters didn’t feel real to me, didn’t react like a normal person would after finding their long lost daughter or sister etc. and making her future harem 1) live with her already bc of ”circumstances” and 2) making them sooo ready to please and worship her since the first time they laid eyes on her totally killed any and all excitement for their future relationship for me.
To be completely honest, this book was just an excellent example of bad writing. Not to be mean, but if I were ever to become an English teacher (and make use of my major…) I’d use this book to illustrate how NOT to write a good story.
That said, I’m always open to try reading this author’s future works, I just really really hope that she takes a writing class or… something. Anything. Before then. (It’s to the point that if we were neighbours I’d bang on this author’s door every day until they agreed to hire me as a consultant for their future works. Ugh, unfullfilled potential just urks me to the core).
(The two stars are just for the plot idea, to be completely honest. I mourn what this book could have been). ...more
There’s just something...off about the way this book is written. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s almost like the author is VERDNF at 10%.
There’s just something...off about the way this book is written. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s almost like the author is VERY new to writing, yet possesses a pretty good understanding of the English language: technically, there’s very little wrong with how it is written, but (I at least) could not connect with the writing AT ALL. I can almost physically FEEL the distance between me and the pages, and no matter how hard I tried, something just rubbed me the wrong way, and I couldn’t get into the story. Add to that that some expressions seem not-quite-right, and the fact that her first meetings with the guys just feel...empty, and I just personally could not go on.
Maybe it’ll speak to some people, but this book unfortunately did not speak to me. ...more
Dnf at like 2 chapters. Sorry not sorry. The way it was written was just too confusing for me - the guys were hard to keep track off and we didn’t getDnf at like 2 chapters. Sorry not sorry. The way it was written was just too confusing for me - the guys were hard to keep track off and we didn’t get any explanation of who what and why so many ppl apparently are into hexing/witchcraft to get revenge? Like are we in the real world? Is it an alternate version of the real world - if so SAY SO - and anyway, the reasoning for the whole ”bound together” trope thing was pretty lacking.
That said, the mc was pretty funny and her sidekick animal was adorable, so maybe it just wasn’t for me and everyone else will love it, or maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood. I think the story had potential but I sadly just can’t stand poorly written stuff, and this was in bad need of an editor (the grammar was ok but, again, the flow was just weird and the guys were hard to keep apart. They also weren’t really to my liking).
So idk, give it a try if you want, but if you’re a perfectionist with high standards like me - bewarned....more
