azah_thefallenreader's Book Journey

Ok so i enjoyed this A LOT MORE than i had anticipated. Usually I stray away from long book series and love triangles, and this being both is kind of ooc for me👀 But here i am, finished with the first book and very excited to see what happens next.

As much as the plot was gripping (in some scenes), the writing leaves a lot of room to grow. It's overall easy to read, but i genuinely have read fanfiction with better writing than this. It's just not very qualitative, with some passages being straight bullshit and not very understandable on the first read (sorry). Not to mention all the countless potholes. Again, the plot was interesting, but i think that the more important scenes were rushed, meanwhile the less important scenes were dragged and repetitive (she basically goes from place to place to always search for some shit. What kind of treasure hunt is this?) The characters are well written, although Isla infuriated me from time to time with her decisions. And some of them being straight up bland, with not a lot of complexity to them, but rather them having one character trait being their whole personality (for example, grim: witty, cleo: cold-blooded, ...) There were a LOT of twists that i had not seen coming and had me gagged, but what meant to be one of the biggest (Celeste being Aurora) wasn't actually as shocking as the author might hope it to be. Another thing that bothered me was the world-building. ESPECIALLY the names for the different people. Like wdym wildlings, skyling and so on??? I'm sorry but that must be one of the most uncreative options ever.

Overall, this was still enjoyable and I'm curious what happens next, with this series having 4 parts at the moment.
