A review by kayhush
Fairydale by Veronica Lancet
Did not finish book. Stopped at 71%.
I had to DNF at 71%. I read the spoilers and judged that the amount of effort needed to get to them wasn't worth it. Still marking it as read and rating it because I read 550 pages so it was well earned. If I force myself further, it will send me into a reading slump and it isn't worth it. 0 stars for the FMC, 1 star for the MMC, 4 stars for the writing itself.
In case you were wondering, no, it never did explain why a pop sounded through the room when she lost her virginity. It was just a questionable writing choice, I suppose. So that's fun.
And a summary of my notes, to witness my descent into madness:
34.0% "i think i am finally getting to the good stuff now"
48.0% "Part of me says "just read the spoilers and move on" and another part says "your at the 50% mark, surely it will start to kick off now"."
49.0% "Ok reading this via text to speech while I do data entry, hoping to get through a good chunk and hope it starts to suck me in"
50.0% "I figured out what gives me the ick so far - the naivete of the FMC. her internal dialogue is rubbing me the wrong way. I assume this is intentional by the author but it is offputting nonetheless"
52.0% ""a loud pop erupts in the air" MA'AM WHAT, this better be explained later on because if I was reading this physically, the book would have found itself flying out my door and into the street"
63.0% "this pacing feels like when i learned to drive standard the first time - stall, burnout, stall, burnout"
71.0% "These main characters are absolutely grating on my nerves... and there's still 220 pages left."
