Sin by Kelly St. Clare
3.0
3.5 stars
I've always liked his character, and I wish this book had been longer because it definitely needed more development for the story to be believable. Of course, it is a novella so I knew what to expect. Even though I didn't love it and I found the romance to be a little superficial, I still liked being back in this world and seeing all these characters again.
Sin was a sweet story, he gets to have his happy ending and we do get to learn a bit more about him and his past. His heroine, Olorna, wasn't my favorite in the way that we don't know her and this book doesn't really help. I'm sure if it had been longer, I'd have liked her because she was funny despite her shyness and, by the end, knew what she wanted and went for it.
Olorna's mother, however, had me in tears. The woman is funny and the way Kelly St. Clare wrote her character is perfect. One thing I enjoyed too was going back to St. Clare's writing style, I love it. She writes the funniest scenes when it shouldn't even be remotely funny and she has a way with words.
I am looking forward to read the rest of the novellas, especially Rhone and Shard. If you haven't read this series yet, I highly recommend it.
But I want you to know if you choose me, I will make you the happiest woman alive. I will feed you, I will clothe you, and I will protect you.Sin was a cute short story about a character that had everyone swooning in the Tainted Accords series, Sin. Albeit short, it was deeply entertaining and I liked having a different POV than Olina. Sin is still his funny, vain self, but he now lives on Osolis, having followed Olina there.
