Earth's End by Elise Kova
2.0
This was SO HECKING AWFUL. I mean at least it was better than the second book, but it was still awful.
Aldrik und Vhalla both turn into complete MANIACS. DUMB maniacs. If I have to read 'My Vhalla, my lady, my love' even one more time in my life it will still be too early.
Vhalla continues to mistreat everyone in her life, Aldrik is an emotional annoying baby and they're both being praised for it. Bah.
Again, this read as a second or third draft and not as a finished book.
The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I paid for all of the books already and I don't like wasting money on books I won't even read. Otherwise I would have dropped this ages ago.
You know, this book has everything. PoC, gay people, eating disorders, alcoholism, mental disorders, self-harm, it's all there. But the PoC are either Oh So Sad Victims or Bad Religious Lunatics, the gay guy is a token character, the eating disorder is suddenly healed when you're with your loved one, the alcoholism is a sad excuse and the self-harm isn't even mentioned again. Why. just. Why. I know the author was going in a good direction here, the ideas are there.
But this needed at least 4 more rounds of editing.
