lilmouse11 's review for:
The Ruined
by Renée Ahdieh
3.5 stars. This is not a bad book, but certainly not how I wished for it to end. I adored Bastian and Celine's relationship from the very beginning. Their chemistry and their romance was what got me soo hooked into this romance. It was heartbreaking to see the direction The Ruined took. All over a single miscommunication. Celine acted so very irrational and did not even want to entertain giving her lover just a chance to explain. Bastian was also an annoying lad as well with him not being able to exert a little bit more patience and self-control. I did not like this story about the whole traveling mirror. I dislike time travel plots where there are just infinite possibilities now and all consequences be damned, because we can change it. UGH! And the ending brushed over the whole New Orleans family and what of them. I feel a bit cheated since the previous books invested so much in those side characters, and all we got was a one page summary on them. The book is still very beautifully written, just the plot came through as not well thought through and seemed like the author herself didn't know what to do with the direction she ended up with.
