Exquisite Ruin by AdriAnne May
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.75
I'm giving this book a solid 3.75 stars out of five. I was invested in putting together the pieces of Sadare and Daesra' past. The chemistry between the characters is there but I was wanting more as the story progressed. The final third of this book captured me the most, you get a chance to find out the truth and the FMC's inner monolog is something you don't want to miss. Poglie was a cute and entertaining addition to the story.
The ending was not at all what I was expecting, it was perfect for what the MC's have gone through. The twist that led to the ending, was not one I saw coming at all.
I don't think this writing style fits with what I enjoy, it felt a bit clunky and repetitive at times. To me it was a great premise with a slight lack of execution.
