A review by dinohakari
Dante's End by Ariana Nash
4.0
I spent several days after reading this book thinking about what to write, because it is not easy to say that you did not like something about a book when you are going to write a review. And it's not that I really didn't like it. It is rather a feeling that something was missing. Or maybe it's the fact that too many things happened?
First of all, I can't give it less than four stars because as always, the author created an incredibly well put together world, and she describes it in such a way that it's as if we were there. And the four stars also go because the story is original, and because I can't exactly put my finger on what bothers me about the book. Like I said before, it's more of a feeling. And I'm not going to rate it less until I read the next one and then maybe, what bothers me about this one, will clear up and change my point of view (and I can get to give it five stars. Which I hope).
Another thing that happened to me: While I absolutely loved Havoc, one of the MCs, I didn't feel any connection to Dante. And it's the first time it's happened to me with one of Ariana's books. I absolutely love all of her MCs. All. Of. Them. Some more, some less, but they all gave me something, they all made me feel something. The only thing that made me feel Dante? Anger and frustration, but more than anything, indifference. It's like I don't understand or I don't see what Havoc can see in him to fall in love with him.
Anyway, I don't want to make this a negative review, because it is NOT. I just wanted to explain why I didn't end up falling in love with this book. That does not mean that when I finish reading the trilogy, I do not end up saying that it is the best of everything that Ariana wrote.
So, I DO recommend that you read the book. But you must do it with an open mind, and prepared to see a lot of betrayal, a lot of hate, even though it is a love story, and a lot of twists and turns until the end, which leaves us in suspense until we can put our hands together. in the second of the trilogy, which will be released next year.
I was given an advanced copy and wrote voluntarily a review.
