bibliobrittish 's review for:

Belle Révolte by Linsey Miller

DID NOT FINISH

---

I really, really wanted to like this book. I am so excited that Belle Révolte, and others like it, are out in the world. Believe me when I say I'm HERE for the ace rep. And I do intend to finish it, eventually - just not now. Because while the premise and world are interesting, the plot & dialogue have been difficult for me to follow and often disjointed. I've also felt like rather than integrating the social issues into the subtext, they were being screamed at me in everything the characters said. But I'm far enough in that I want to know what happens; I care about Emilie & Annette & Charles & the rest of this lot. I just need something that isn't quite so preachy at the moment.
