A review by stardust_heidi
House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein
Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
Fallon. Fallon is the reason I didn't finish. I love everything else about this book and series so far. Lore is delicious, and I desperately wanted to read more of him and his sexy shifter crow self. I love the side characters, especially Lore's friends who are actually decent people. The world building and plot had the potential to be amazing.
But.
Fallon.
From basically the first page of this book, I could not deal with this child. And yes, a child, because she's acting like an insolent teenager. Insolent, rude, ungrateful, and petulant. Most actual YA characters are more mature than this. I don't really understand why she's so upset about being "forced to stay" in the Sky Kingdom. Yes, everything she thought she knew has been blown out of the water, so some confusion and hesitancy is expected. But that is not what we got. Honestly, Fallon consistently threw me out of the book so many times because of her behavior. Finally I just realized that it's not pushing through when the book is from her POV. I don't even want her with Lore, if that's how she's going to act. He doesn't deserve that.
Ugh, I'm so disappointed.
