I still have no idea if I actually read this book when it came out. Maybe I just read a synopsis somewhere.
Anyway, once again, nothing much happens in Destined. Similar to the previous few books, Destined is slow paced, but it also takes place over a very short amount of time: five (5) days.
Most of this slowness is due to more of the same: relationship drama, multi-boyfriend drama, the villain having no clear reasons for wanting what they want (a superobjective, a why,) and cliché tropes without an original spin.
At this point, there's really only one character worth reading these books for, and it isn't the MC.
The ending of this book, where something finally happens, is obviously the best part. But the last few pages somehow manage to trivialize what does happen and turn it into melodrama instead of engaging drama. Great job?
