His Forsaken Bride
by Alice Coldbreath
Oh. My. Gawd. This book was so mind numbingly boring. This was a more than 17 hour audiobook with over 20 side characters, and so much palace intrigue and maneuvering yet still I don’t even think it had a plot. I didn’t feel anything for Fenella and Oswald and didn’t get how they even felt anything for each other. This could have been good. The jilted betrothal and him being grievously injured in battle and forgetting about their time together then remembering as they got to know each other again but that was not explored at all and was only revealed at the end in a brief confession from him. This was just a story about a woman trying to figure out court after living in the country and a man who had been celibate for ten years who finally got a wife to bed. Everything else was just world building and set up for the next series of books. I listened to the audiobook at double speed at times just to make it through but I don’t know why I did. I should have abandoned this book and not wasted my time. This one was a fail.
