I’m not okay and I don’t think I’ll ever emotionally recover from this. All I can think about is ‘We are penguins, right?’ 😭😭
Oof. We got there, but barely. The wheels are falling off and the stereo is busted. But by gum we drove this sucker home didn’t we Renee?
I can understand why fans have rated ‘The Ruined’ much lower than the other books in this series. I think Celine and Bastien’s characters have motives that aren’t made clear to the audience. Romantasy readers want romance and fantasy. If we muddy the waters too much then they’ll starve to death for lack of steamy jawlines that need nibbling.

I deeply regret reading this book, I finished it feeling confused..disappointed..and honestly sad. I wish that I had stopped at book three. I actually regret reading this series, save yourself and do not read. The ending was WTF, I waited years to get a shitty ending?
Reading the other reviews, I’m relieved that many of us feel this way and not just me. Again, what the fuck Renee? I will not read any of her other books if this is her style.

Mediocre at best, felt like a forced ending with lots of plot points that determined the fate of the world that had little to no sentiment within the world she built. The use of convenient plot points that appeared spontaneously or were inconsequential before being pivitol to changing the feelings and plans of everyone in the book felt lazy.

Loved the first three books of the series. However the fourth book was very disappointing. The ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. All the set up relative to Arjun and Pippa was really poorly finished. After an entire book 3 which focused on them, in one sentence Arjun is vaguely gone.
