bekkireinig 's review for:
We Free the Stars
by Hafsah Faizal
FINALLY, Its done!!
Maybe 2 stars are harsh. However, a book that lies on my Bedside table for what felt like two weeks and I only managing to read it when I "forced" myself out of my apartment is not a good look.
This was so boring and so confusing. The Love story was weird. The ending to it was soo unnecessary drawn out. The whole king thing felt weird and twisty at the end, and TBH so was the whole book. The whole thing felt too generic but also to "I want to be different" at the end.
And honestly, I feel sad that I have to write this, because I genuinely enjoyed the first book and I felt this could have been a great duology. But like I said the ending (and we knew what happens come on it is a YA fantasy/romance novel) teased a different ending but did not go through with it (which probably would have been better). The new and/or already existing side characters that got more time were boring and did not feel like they brought something to the plate. Furthermore, I felt like the fun and jokiness of the first book was gone.
The two stars do feel like it’s mostly because I was so disappointed but quite honestly, I do not remember much of the book except the weird ending and the generic plot points that every YA novel has.
