Fierce King by Sadie Kincaid
1.0

Author, do not read this review. It will not make you feel good. Read the good reviews, do your thing. There are people who like your work, but I am not one of them.

I finished this book, but don't let that fool you. It has nothing to do with the book quality and EVERYTHING to do with how stubborn I am. I can't let a book this bad go unfinished.

This book was uninspired. That's not enough for one star, though, I've given plenty of 3 and 4 star reviews to uninspired plotlines before. No, that wasn't all...

This book had AWFUL dialogue. It was just bad. It was actively unsexy when it tried to be hot, and stupid when it tried to be smart. It read like an alien emulating human conversation. It was, frankly, insane.

This book was RIFE with typos and grammatical issues. I gave up tracking them. It was painful.

This book had the weirdest use of Spanish that I've ever seen in a book.

This book had the most inconsistent characters I've ever encountered. Character development? LOL NOPE, let's just make them do yoyo tricks with their personalities! That's practically the same thing. Also, the FMC should be delicate but ALSO STRONG but also a pushover BUT ALSO FEISTY but make sure she's submissive BUT SHE STICKS UP FOR HERSELF but she also lets him do whatever he wants BUT SHE DOESN'T NEED HIM but... Also, the MMC is a douche-canoe, but not a hot one, just a boring, weird, implausibly Hispanic dude with anger management issues and unbelievable bedroom prowess (no, really, I don't believe it).

I would say skip this book, but maybe don't skip it. Maybe everyone should be forced to read this so we can all calibrate our expectations for a one star read.
