bandherbooks 's review for:

Munro by Kresley Cole

2.0

Sigh. So anticipated, but strangely not as fun of a read for me as I'd hope. I'm hoping hearing the upcoming Fated Mates episode/party will unpack my feelings more.


Spoilers, ho!

Spoiler

Munro having to actually witness Kereny dying and then flinging her into the acid was so awful and emotional, so I understood how determined he was to find and protect her, but I feel like the plotline between him and the wizards was sort of unexplored and then quickly resolved in the last act. I liked seeing other characters I adore, but everyone seemed to pop out just in the nick of time to fix things or offer hope/solutions for our star-crossed couple. Ren being from Transylvania and living in a wagon, and being part of a circus felt like she was Roma or Sinti...but those words were never used (and thankfully at least not a slur), but I was kind of waiting with gritted teeth to see how her ancestry would be handled. The wolf books aren't usually my favorite, and the whole I am now pregnant and might die felt like the recent SJM book. Sigh.
