a_ab 's review for:

A Rivalry of Hearts by Tessonja Odette

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

---

DNF at 12%. The level of contrived baseless animosity between these two immature, caricaturish, and extremely unlikable main characters is so annoying that I am already tired of their company to the point of not wanting to know anything else about them. What passes for "banter" in this book is not clever, not funny, and has no sparks of either chemistry or creativity. It's just a boring exchange of very childish idiotic insults and boasts for absolutely no reason whatsoever. And the book has barely started... I have a suspicion that the author wrote (at least the beginning of) this book while suffering the human effects of the fae drink described in chapter 5.

People who managed to finish this book must have the patience of saints!
