alexabookish 's review for:
The Damned
by Renée Ahdieh
sooo this was rather disappointing. here’s why i was disappointed:
•there are like 10 new POVs. i love celine and book 1 was all her. we didn’t even see her in this book until page 99
•everyone’s POV was written in third person except for Bastien’s. i wasn’t a fan of all the switching.
•i didn’t like the pacing. this book basically introduces a whole new world, so there’s a lot of world building. it just felt very different from the first book.
•bc of this i felt like most of the book was pretty slow and just feeding the reader all this new information.
I did really like the last 100 pages, but i just felt like that was too far into the book for that to happen. regardless, i’ll still read new books in this series because i love Celine (also i became a big arjun fan while reading this book) and maybe this book just struggled with middle book syndrome.
