danielasofs 's review for:
A Dance of Lies
by Brittney Arena
More like 1.5 ⭐️ but rounded up.
This debut had a good premise but lacked any (good) plot.
Good on the author to try and bring disability visibility to the world but it seems the only impact it has on it is how Vasalie has a constant internal monologue of “I can’t do this, I’m out of breath, etc” and then does everything all the same, but feels dizzy at the end.
The plot is obvious, the twists are predictable, and the romance is very dubious. I think it tries to have two romantic interests, but the chemistry was so lacking that I only realised it was trying to imply romance/lust when something actually happened, and even then I felt confused.
The villains were the most interesting part but only because they are stereotypical bad guys so it’s really easy to hate them.
A shame that the characters lacked any personality because I was intrigued enough to keep reading, and it sets up everything for a sequel, but I’m definitely not interested in continuing this.
