Ruling Sikthand by Victoria Aveline
1.5
challenging slow-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I’ve reached the conclusion that this series is not for me. I tried the first book and was generous with my 3 star rating because it was my first book by the author.

I’d been told I could jump straight to the last book and I did that because it made so many booksta and booktok best of 2024 lists…

I was able to jump straight to this book, but I disliked it even more than the first book in the series. 

- cringe dialogue
- non-existent world-building
- plain, bare bones, boring language that reminded me of Hemingway’s sparse prose- but not in a good way.
- zero relationship development and flat character arcs.
