Consort of Darkness by Molly Tullis

1.0

I just could not get into this. There was way too much description and telling what happened, rather than showing it or making the reader feel it. The characters had a lot of potential but I just could not connect. I wasn’t invested in them at all and actually found them pretty irritating, which is not the vibes for main characters. The FMC was constantly whining and freaking out and just really annoying. And the MMC felt very cliche. Even the title is dismissive of the FMC, who is supposed to be more powerful than her husband??? Internalized misogyny, much? 

The pacing was really awkward and slow and I found myself saying “okay and?” way too often. Reads more YA than I was expecting and for an author who makes lots of videos about “writing smut” I was very not impressed by the almost fade to black sex scenes that were cringy at best. 

Will not continue the series. I was just really bored and probably should have DNF’d.
