bookedbymadeline's review against another edition
I liked that we get an overview of the characters and some background info of things that happens in book 1. It’s especially helpful for anyone who didn’t read it or DNFd like I did. The writing style is slightly better than book 1 in that I’m not constantly bored but there’s so much switching between EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER that I’m getting whiplash and it feels more like vignettes than a cohesive narrative. Also There’s no chapters? It tells the story in third person POV, giving us a look at each character without warning, switching from paragraph to paragraph, and no chapter breaks. I think it could’ve been better if we get to know a smaller cast of characters instead of hearing from every character, because now it feels as if we don’t really get to know anyone. What we do see from the characters, makes them unlikeable; there I are no redeemable qualities about any of them. The way the incest is described 🙃 disgusting….it’s what ultimately made me DNF after pushing through to finish this one, I couldn’t get past this (27% or 91 pages)
