An Intrigue of Witches
by Esme Addison
DID NOT FINISH: 35%
This is gonna have a lot of spoilers and just random thoughts i had throughout this book. I do feel like i could have finished this book but honestly it annoyed me so much that my intrigue into how it all turned out was not strong enough.
Now firstly when we are first introduced to our fmc omg she is so fucking annoying and the whole woe is me omg im in so much credit card debt because my parents are millionaires and wouldnt give me money but i had to live in the best neighbourhood and have the nicest clothes so im in debt is so crazy like wtf?!?
Also the plot has way too much going on, at the start i was like ok this is kinda cool we’re gonna have a mix of sci-fi and fantasy with this ultra modern world where vr is gonna take over and theres witches… well i got to 35% and shock surprise no witches yet. Its literally in the title how do we have no witches??
However i did enjoy that the author used actual people from history and as someone who doesnt really read historical fantasy i really enjoyed it.
The main reason i dnf’ed this book is because i just got the biggest info dumping of the randomest shit about this royal bloodline and a character starts saying shit like slave owners were having sex with their slaves because they wanted to continue the bloodline that ran through the slaves dna? like firstly how would they even know who had the royal blood and who didnt and then the whole convoluted story about this specific bloodline is supposed to rule the world and the ‘opposition’ has been trying to take them down for centuries is so far fetched its crazy.
