pretzulle 's review for:
The Glittering Court
by Richelle Mead
Honestly, I'm still not done with this book but I really can't see myself finishing it. The beginning was intriguing, and I actually liked it once I got in 30 pages or so. Then, I realized that we never know Adelaide's real name, and I feel like this actually bothered me quite a bit throughout the rest? The entire plot is about her being someone she isn't, and everything is very, very predictable. I wasn't totally upset with the book, and I got it for free from a giveaway after all, but I was hard for me to find a bond with the characters. I felt like Adelaide was too submissive at times, and only wanted to be dominant when she was faced with something she didn't like. Her relationship between Mira and Tamsin was another predictable thing, and when Adelaide finally got what she wanted by finding a relationship with Cedric...I pretty much stopped there. I have just under 200 pages left and they've begun to set up their life, so I'm not sure if it's even worth continuing. I've never read a Richelle Mead book before, so I wonder if any of hers are better than this? It's almost too YA for me, I like intricate plots and intricate characters with lots of twists. If there's one way to sum this up, it's predictable. If that's what you like, then I'd definitely suggest it. If not, then it's really not worth your time!
