A review by issianne
The Damned by Renée Ahdieh

2.0

This one started out boring, then it picked up a little when the main characters finally interacted, then it got a little weird with fey lore, then it got tangental with going into the Wyld, and then it was interesting/action-driven at the end. I feel like Ahdieh keeps luring me in with the end of her books, but like...that's not fair when I haven't really enjoyed the rest of the book. This book had so many POVs that I just couldn't care any more at points. And it took 100 pages to get a POV from the MAIN character! I was about to start a riot (and I'm not even obsessed with Celine or anything). Poor Michael also...you deserve better, dude. Also, Bastien and Celine just really had little to no flavor in this (and there was a pretty smutty scene for YA, so that just shows you...) I will most likely not continue on in this series...
