A review by courtney_saba
The Elf Tangent by Lindsay Buroker

2.0

I went into this thinking it was a romance. It's advertised as one. But 400 pages later and there were 2 kisses. 2. Kisses. And zero chemistry or tension.

The main characters were like those shy YA characters in the 2000s. The heroine acted like a tween. She avoided the books with sexy times. How sad for her. Plus, all the dialogue felt stilted, rigid, awkward, and overly explained.

The plot was fine and the world building was intriguing, but they weren't enough to keep my attention. The stakes were high and the creatures were so interesting, but the rest of the story flopped.

I ended up skimming the majority of this and I really didn't miss anything.

Happy reading, Goodreads fiends.
