melrose18 's review for:

On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn
1.25
slow-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was a slog from start to finish. The pacing dragged, the dialogue was painful, and the characters felt completely underdeveloped. The FMC was unlikable, annoying, and not very believable, while the MMC had zero depth or personality. The romance lacked any real tension, the worldbuilding was vague and confusing, and I found myself skimming the last 20% just to be done with it. I kept hoping it would turn a corner, but it never did. It felt like the book was trying to be too many things at once and it just fell flat everywhere. Definitely not for me.
