amr76 's review for:
Queen of Myth and Monsters
by Scarlett St. Clair
I am almost done with the audiobook. I am afraid the main narrator may be bringing the book down a star. I enjoy the story but the breathy and quavering, almost whining, tone the narrator uses for Isolde makes her seem incredibly melodramatic in a way that she doesn't need to be. If there were a scene about her using the restroom it would become the most dramatic pee and poop in the history of human waste. The story itself has plenty of drama. It doesn't need to be created.
It's a hilarious contrast when the male narrator does a chapter from Adrien's POV. He has a totally different (and preferable for me) tone for the characters.
Likes - story line, vampire characters, world building, sex scenes (there are a lot if you like spicy books). I would like to get more POV from the other characters I think. They're interesting in their own right outside of support roles for the main characters.
Unlikes - She hits him (more than once!) and never apologizes but expects him to apologize to her anytime she flies off the handle instead of having a conversation and he's quite the villain if he hurts her. No one defends him but everyone defends her. Passionate love doesn't mean verbal or physical abuse no matter what gender is perpetrating it.
"Any man who must say, "I am the king" is no true king." - GoT/GRRM reminds me of Isolde. Ok girl, we get it. Be a queen, quit telling us you are one. Yes, yes we get it - you're an independent woman and no man is going to tell you what to do. So, be independent and you do you. Quit declaring what you are, and live who you are.
