Masters of Death by Olivie Blake
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
I tried to go into this book with an open mind, but wow it was just cringy. It wasn't well written, the world building was underwhelming. Like all of the characters are cryptids of some sort, but functionally, they are just humans with one extra something going on. Which isn't that interesting at the end of the day. But my biggest problem with this book were the character personalities. Literally every single character was the exact same. They were ALL sarcastic and brash. Like literally every character. And one sarcastic character is fine, but making every character have the same personality is lazy and boring.
And within the first 18%, the only conflict that got set up was the question of how Tom died. But I didn't like Tom at all, and was not interested or intrigued in the least to find out how he died. So then I had nothing else keeping me reading.
Just don't waste your time on this book.
Listened to on Libby.
