A review by natalierogers
Awakened and Betrayed by Ivy Asher

2.0

Spoilers ahead. What actually happened in this book? Like a million unnecessary things that are half thought out and half done. I HATE that her powers transfer to whoever is her chosen. I feel like it takes away from what she can do. Probably not what most people would say but I don’t like the idea of sharing or giving away or having power taken (fucking ACOSF and Nesta really set this mindset off). It was unique that she had runes and now she just passes them off. I liked the mate runes that allowed them to communicate but not the entire transference. Also mave and pebbles are throwing me off. That’s so unimportant and just adding more unnecessary shit to the pile. THERES TOO MANY FUCKING CHARACTERS. I have no clue if there will be more random people added to the harem. I can’t even visualize the characters anymore because I’m having such a hard time keeping up with the names as is. There’s just too much happening rn.

Also everyone wants to go run and save uncle dickhead from the man who keeps sending people to kidnap her???? Yeah!!! That sounds like a GREAT idea. Like be so fucking serious and think about what is happening. How many people have been sent there and haven’t come back and you just want to walk in there with what they have been searching for?! Stfu.

Why did she spend the first half of the book with a total new group of guys just to have them tied to someone else in the end? How are they tied to someone else randomly like that? None of that shit makes sense and it sure as fuck isn’t important to me.

I hate how when she is with the guys she gets diminished. They won’t fight her because they don’t want to hurt her?!? Seriously how do you expect her to train if nobody will train with her? That’s so stupid “I’ll be pulling my punches” be so fr she would put every one of them on their ass before they knew what was happening. Proven in book 1 with the twins.
