A review by keberwick
Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge
3.0
I wasn't overly fond of this book. Admittedly, I did have the audiobook edition, and that may have had something to do with it. I found some of the book a little hard to follow and not as well thought-out as other fantasy novels I've read. This was my first Rosamund Hodge novel, and while I did enjoy Rochelle as a character, I was rather unimpressed with the love triangle, as well as Amelie's character. I felt that Amelie could have added so much more to the story than just being Rochelle's damsel in distress.
I found the writing to be very descriptive, but not overly so, which was a huge plus. Hodge did an excellent job of creating images with her words, even though I feel that it was a little convoluted. I would recommend this book, but with reservation. I wouldn't recommend it if you are tired of shallow characters and love triangles, however, if you can get past those two aspects, the storyline was very interesting and was very entertaining.
