kelsieg19 's review for:
The Glittering Court
by Richelle Mead
SPOILER FREE
I was disappointed in this book. I tried to love it, I really did... but the reality is.. it was boring. Like, I had to force myself to pick up the book just so I could finish it. It did not grab me from the beginning and usually when that happens, I know that I am not going to like a book. But, I stuck it out and decided to keep reading because I hoped that it would pick up and get better... it didn't. The first half of the book was okay I guess, the last half was just so terribly boring. It was like she wrote the first half of the book and then just ran out of ideas and decided to completely change the plot and the setting.
The only good thing about this was the characters. I love the main character Adelaide. She was strong and independent and gave no fucks. She had no filter and did whatever she wanted and did not care about the consequences. Cedric, her love interest, was a sweetheart. He did anything he could to protect her. I also loved how he would stand up to his intimidating father. Their relationship was cute.. however, it did seem like it moved very fast.
Warren and his mother were straight up horrible people. Warren seemed nice at the beginning and then just no...
There was a plot twist near the end of the book but by that point I was so done with the book that I didn't even care about it. The last 50 pages, I found myself just scanning the pages just to see how it wrapped up. I honestly do not know if I will continue on with this series which is so sad because I love the Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series!
I am not saying that this book is a terrible book and nobody should read it, I just don't think it was the right book for me.
