I cannot offer you a palace or a title, but I can offer you a home where you will be treasured for exactly who you are.” And yet, I didn’t feel anything with that quote. Why? 1) The love interest is boring and forgettable. 2) The romance wasn’t credible since it was never built or developed. 3) You don’t want to know it, believe me. What happened to this book? I’m still wondering that, Kiera Cass. I don’t know why I did this to myself, but words aren’t enough to describe how bad this book is. The characters are plain and boring, there’s no plot or world building, the writing style is not remarkable to focus on it and the ending came literally out of nowhere just to “repair” the whole book (because absolutely nothing happens). The fact that I didn’t like or enjoy any character is already a problem. Both love interests were one dimensional and completely boring. The protagonist is so annoying and silly that I wanted to throw myself out of a window. The love story isn’t developed and I can’t imagine how anyone could be interested in her. It was so frustrating!The worst part is that I read this with an open mind. After rereading the Selection trilogy this year (and loving it again), I was so excited to read more from Kiera Cass..., but this— ugh 🤮 a living nightmare.The ending (even with the pointless and ridiculous things that happened) surprised me and gave me space for theories. Perhaps the Darkest Knights are the only interesting stuff, but it didn’t fix the whole book. NOTHING can save this sunken boat. Will I read the next book? Yes, let’s witness this disaster. It will probably be like punishing myself, but I’m going to give the author another chance. •Spoiler thoughts:1. Are you seriously telling me that Silas loved her so much that he was ready to marry her right after six conversations? 2. Holis just dropped her whole life and future for a stranger who had “beautiful blue eyes” (she repeated this over and over again). Completely credible. It happens all the time 👏🏻3. Jameson laughed at everything Holis said. Wtf was that? Why is he laughing so much if she is so boring? 4. After so many complaints about Holis being adequate or not to fit the queen’s shoes, are you telling me that Delia Grace (with all her scandalous past) is accepted just like that after ONE SINGLE CONVERSATION? 5. So you created all this mess and a chaotic love triangle (and not in a good way) just to kill one of the main characters? That was completely pointless. Besides, we can’t feel anything for a character we hardly know anything about. 6. I don’t believe Silas’ death. He will appear again and probably become the king with Holis by his side or something like that. If he’s truly dead (and again, even if I don’t like him that’s completely pointless), then she will end up with Etan. •Don’t read this unless you really want to. Save your time and money. by Kiera Cass
