Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid
2.0
I was bored to tears. The details about the family goes on and on. I read their book and I don’t want to know more about them. Mention it as a passing is completely ok but my god I am tired of this series now. I remember and care about the characters only when I reading the book not after or before it. Atleast weave it into the story. There was absolutely no need for the what so and so was doing. Don’t like, don’t care. Atleast for me those books are done and I am done with their story.
Penny Reid was and is one of the writers I look forward to but this book was beyond disappointing. She is trying really hard to be a part of some movement. The racist part was no way relevant or necessary for the story line. It felt like She gave racist twist just for sake it or was expected in recent past. And the writing wasn’t like a story but like lecture.
I was looking for a romance, which took a back seat in this book. There was no chemistry, nothing interesting about their story or how it’s going on or the reason. They were friends and after 10 years she talks to him for “work”? There was scene where they kissed. 2 pages were of feels and environment. I couldn’t feel any chemistry or thrill. I was bored by a kissing scene. I could go on and on but I sound devastating. Sorry Penny Reid. I don’t know what happened. She needs to get away from old characters and write a whole different independent stories. Her ninja book was good, especially the first novella. I was mad because it was so small.
Yeah well.
