Review by robotnik - The King Slayer

robotnik 's review for:

The King Slayer by Virginia Boecker

2.0

adventurous medium-paced

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

My expectations for this book were already pretty damn low, and it kind of met those expectations, being just sort of a bland generic fantasy, but it also decided it was a good idea to take a rapist and try to make him a character you feel sorry for while giving no resolution to the rape (which kickstarted the entire plot of this series, mind you) beyond "he's okay and a good person because he's only a rapist because he was ignorant and thought she was just shy, haha".

Ain't nobody got time for that nonsense.
