Nameless
by Lili St. Crow
I remember at the end of my 3rd year of university I had this huge exam that consisted of three sections. The first two sections that I did were fairly okay; I managed to make it through them without much incident. The last section, however, was a totally different story. Every page that I turned, every question that I read I asked myself "What is this rubbish?" "No seriously, what is this garbage?" "Am I supposed to be able to know how to answer this?"
Reading this book is pretty much like that last section of my 3rd year exam. Except I got a much better grade for that section that I ever expected to which was a pleasant surprise. I'm still thoroughly lost and confused at the end of this book. And I don't think the first words that pop into your mind at an ending "Jeez it's finally OVER" is much helpful either.
This book is like a giant inside joke that the author forgot to let the readers in on. There are so many weird words and concepts that just have you like "Huh?" every page that you turn. I don't mind words that are made up to fit whatever image you're trying to execute as long as you properly explain them and don't leave me guessing in the dark because chances are I'm not going to bother to.
As for the plot, don't make me laugh. This book wouldn't know what a plot is even if you were somehow able to embody the makings of a Plot and make it write this book. This is apparently supposed to be a retelling of Snow White but the only reason I knew that was from reading other reviews. Retellings don't always have to stick to the original tale, I understand that, but I really don't know where this was going. And I don't care enough to find out. In fact, I don't care at all.
It took me almost 1 year and some to finish this book and for someone like me, that is a very very long time. I could only suffer through this book while listening to music and even then it wasn't reading so much as skimming through the words because I couldn't find it within myself to care enough to read the words properly. I just wanted it to be done and over with and now that it is I will not be torturing myself with the second book in this series. I love myself too much for that to happen.
I would say something about the characters but a) I really really don't care at all and b) they were all flat and boring anyway. Especially the main character who made zero sort of character development in any form or fashion and was quite useless and unnecessary to the plot (whatever that is). Do you know how terrible you have to be to be unnecessary to a story line that's supposed to be about you?
Anyway, I've said enough, it's over and I will neither be wasting any more of my precious time on this nor be looking back at this ever again. Ever.
