A review by seventhchariot
Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson
4.0
I've seen this book be compared to Venom but in medieval times and I have to agree!
And while the concept for this book was cool, I am a bit iffy about how I want to review it.
I had such high hopes for Vespertine because I loved both of this author's previous works so much, but I think my expectations were just a bit too high.
The beginning was a bit rocky. You're thrown right into the middle of this world with little explanation as to what is going on. Of course, the more I read on, the more things made sense as things got explained. But I honestly did consider DNFing this one at the beginning because I didn't understand and didn't care.
I do think that if you've read and enjoyed Margaret Rogerson's previous books, you'll enjoy this one as the way the author writes and unfurls the plot is similar in style.
I liked the idea behind this book and I really loved the ending and how everything came together! I also loved how there was absolutely ZERO romance! It's something I've rarely found in YA fantasy books and it was refreshing to see!
Unfortunately, the main character was kinda annoying at times. She was constantly making random remarks about how she's not pretty enough for no real reason?? Idk but it was giving a lot of "not-like-other-girls" vibes.
Anyways, I think this is still worth the read but I just put too many expectations on it.
Rating: 3.5 stars
