mabramson 's review for:
A Dance of Lies
by Brittney Arena
Got this as an ARC from Emerald City Comic Con!
Overall pretty good story. It gave me a darker version of Throne of Glass. I enjoyed that the chronic pain was something constantly in the story and not just a side note. You really felt the struggle the character had with her journey and that made her victories all the sweeter. I would say most of them were bittersweet, poor MC did not catch a break yet. Seems to be a series so hopefully the future holds more happiness for her.
I did struggle with her connections to others. I think all of them would have benefited on more time to flesh out all relationships. Vas’s relationship with her stepmother was definitely the most powerful and I wish more of the characters were given the chance to develop their relationships too.
Overall, loved the idea and enjoyed the read!
