A review by kharlia
Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid
2.0
Not what I excepted. I thought that it will be about sisterhood and horrific magic. Buuuut ...
The 1st half is mostly just vibes. And then the 2nd half just hit so hard. It's pretty violent, lot of revelation and character development that was too sudden to be called "development".
I didn't really enjoy the romance as it was so quick, and underdeveloped. As well the change of behaviour of Marlinchen and her sisters. It didn't really make sense to me and I some point I just really didn't liked the mc.
So yeah, the revelation came out too suddenly for my taste, it felt unnatural. And the lack of characters development was really a turn off.
However, I did enjoy the writing of Ava Reid and the concept of the book. I red it in less than 2 days so it's still a sign that I enjoyed the book ! At least a little ? No ?

Well this aside, the list of trigger warnings is just "go to my website to check the trigger". I didn't check it because I didn't have access to my phone when I bought it and sooooo. Well, it would have been nice to put ALL the trigger directly on paper
