benduffie 's review for:
Five Dark Fates
by Kendare Blake
Spoilers I guess?
This is more so a review for the series as a whole. Overall, the concept held so much promise and the author wanted you to believe that this was a gritty and dark high fantasy world. But in the end, too many characters survive relatively unscathed that it just felt flat.
Each of the queens endings were so....meh. One died and I didn’t know if that was real because...It had happened before. The other’s death was so underwhelming that I just rolled my eyes. The last queen survived and she just get sit live. I just...ugh.
Katherine was such a wasted villain and even when she did do bad things the author tried to make into a victim. I hated it. The author would always reference how “little” she was and it’s just so infuriating.
I hate Arsenoie.
Mirabella was a wasted character.
Jules has no personality and the random lesbian romance felt so out of left field.
Far too many characters who didn’t matter to the plot were used to do the ACTUAL stuff.
Such a wasted idea. The only closure i had in this finale was that it was over and I can move on with my life.
