A review by hotliquidjello
Never the Roses by Jennifer K. Lambert
Did not finish book.
Was so enchanted by the promise of the blurb, but boy howdy did it not deliver. Honestly almost quit from the first line. Decided to persevere and made it through ch 6. Nigh-on impenetrable Rube Goldberg machines of sentences. Hypocritical FMC with a deep love for all life who romanticizes her own death, and kills copious of flowers in pursuit of post-mortal vanity (I do not understand her callousness to plant life. Maddening).
"In an excess of caution, she ran a finger along the spine [of the dummy book she's leaving in the stead of the one she's stealing], removing as much imprint of her house or companions from the book as she could. Just in case. It would be insane to compromise their safety over a whim."
SHE HAS LITERALLY BEEN COMPROMISING THEIR SAFETY OVER SO MANY WHIMS BEFORE GETTING TO THIS POINT.
And then we finally get the MMC pov chapter which contains the stunning poetry of "Stearanos crawled out from under the covers and stood naked in the center of his bedchamber, scratching his balls sleepily."
Was fodder to laugh at with friends, I guess.
