A review by laenverse
Through Any Fire by Katherine Carter
Did not finish book.
callahan is not a likeable character. i didn't think much of the prologue, but when kyra appeared and how he reacted to her, i just felt icky. this is supposed to be a second-chance romance??? reformed players should have reformed before proposing marriage to their first loves 💀
there's also the way they broke up as teenagers ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ it's probably a misunderstanding or he did it to protect loren or something, but i hate these kinds of excuses.
when you don't like the MC, it's hard to fall in love with the story, and this was no exception. i didn't care for the characters except maybe cohen, and while the romance did get my heart fluttering, i couldn't forget how much callahan annoyed me.
romeo and juliet, maybe. but i wished it was handled differently. despite cal's character, i think i could have pushed through if it hadn't been for the new drama with alice. it feels a little off to have so many problems when it should be focused on loren and cal's rekindling—because now their playful dynamic feels cheap. when loren was bantering with cal, i was thinking, um shouldn't you be more concerned about your friend??? who gives a fuck about the coffee and being petty, and which room you should sleep in? there's also withholding information bc she's pissed at cal for underestimating her, and i'm?? 💀💀 girl, there's a life on the line. several lives, actually, and you're behaving like a teenager.
so. with that being said, i liked the writing and the idea of this story, but it didn't deliver the way i wanted it to.
thank you netgalley for sending me this copy for free. it sucks it didn't work out.
