A review by haleykaysm
Lady of Darkness by Melissa K. Roehrich
1.0
I have so many questions…
1. How is this book rated so highly?
2. How did I survive 19 hours of this book?
3. Why have I seen people post this is their favorite fantasy series?
Where do I even start??? First of all I was honestly torn between a 1 and a 2 star review. I was bored to tears the entire time I was reading this…and I read the entire book HOPING it would eventually get better because I never DNF a book. It honestly comes off as a knock off TOG. It felt like not much was happening and yet not enough the entire book.
The main character, Scarlett, is hardly likable even knowing why she shaped by her past. She was dull and lacked personality. Yet somehow…she has 3 men in love with her? Two princes and an evil lord? Possibly even her BFF who could very possibly also love her? How? And to be frank, I didn’t connect to any of the characters or even feel like most of the characters had any chemistry other than the author telling me that they did.
Scarlett and her sisters are the most lethal assassins known and feared by all…and yet they are captured not once but twice? The main character also gets so gravely injured at the end that she can hardly walk or talk, blood is gushing out of her side for days and then on the third day (with NO healing) she is able to have “the spiciest scene” (which still isn’t spicy) with her love interest who she supposedly hates? What? Brink of death to sexually intimate?
Lastly *spoiler* the big “Oh my god” shocker moment at the end was so predictable I guessed it within the first 10 chapters.
This book just was not for me.
