Reverie
by Ryan La Sala
"That’s the thing about a big imagination. It’s hard to belong anywhere when you can always imagine something better."
I guess this book was okay in the end... (scratch that, it wasn't)
I can't say I liked this book as much as I wanted to. The end did save this book for me. I would have given it a lower rating if not for it. But by the end of the year I doubt I would remember what happened in this book. It's only been a week since I finished it and it's already fading from my brain.
I can't really give synopsis for this book since I'm not sure I undertsand what this book is about but basically this guy Kane wakes up from a coma. A few weeks prior he had an accident and now his memory is a bit fuzzy. But the strangest thing of all is when he meets four people who say they are his friends. And from there the action of this book starts.
So I made two mistakes while reading this book. The first one is that I listened to the audiobook. Because of that I couldn't fully understand the plot or the magic system or anything really in this book. And my second mistake is when I kept listening to the audiobook even though I was very confused the whole time. At the 61% mark, I was considering DNF-ing it, but I already read more than half the book, so I would have felt bad if I actually DNF-ed it. I wish I stopped reading it earlier and moved to other books that I would have actually ended up loving.
I didn't feel attached to any of this characters. I couldn't care less about Kane and his drama. I couldn't care less about the plot of this book
The only thing I found somewhat interesting was the romance. But it was so little that it didn't really make me love the book more.
The plot was very confusing and most of the times I couldn't bring myself to care for what was actually happening. I wanted to understand the magic system and what Reveries actually were, but everything was just so confusing and it needed more explaining. The magic system also felt a bit underdeveloped, for example I noticed quite a few plotholes or maybe that was just me not understanding anything. Both are two possible explanations.
The ending did make me like the story a but more, but not by much. I was still confused as hell by the end of it.
I think this is a very confusing review, but so are my thoughts and so is this book.
Sadly, even though this book had so much potential, I didn't really like it. I didn't care about anything in this book and I actually regret not DNF-ing it (which doesn't really happen often)
