The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke
1.0
I didn't have high expectations for it. All I wanted was a fun read and this book was no fun at all. I hate giving books one star, but it was a struggle for me to finish it.
At the beginning everything felt rushed. There were only few or no explanations at all. Ananna doesn't want to marry Tarrin, because he is too beautiful.
During the whole book she trusts not a single person who is pretty (which is kind of ridiculous). Ananna is naive, annoying and everything pisses her off. She thinks she is so badass which she is not at all. It is also strange that Ananna trusted Niji so quickly. He wanted to kill her and she saved his life and trusted him from this point on. (He is lucky that he isn't considered beautiful/handsome.) I usually don't mind slang/dialect/accent (it can be really interesting), but Ananna was the only one with this accent and it sounded more like a Southern one. The accent didn't help the story at all - it made her sound uneducated.
Niji is the lamest assassin ever. He is boring, weak and whiny. Most of the time Niji is silent and incompetent. Such a disappointment.
The real story begins when the book is almost over. Why did you do this?
Really disappointing book.
