The Bloodshed Of The Betrayed by A. L. Slade
2.5
I give it 2.5 stars
I did not really like the characters. Magda had no real personality or personality development, because I felt like her whole personality was just her problems and mental illnesses, that increased throughout the book more and more. And the other characters died all. Laramie was okay, but I did not really get to know her personality, too, because she rarely ever talked or revealed something about herself. Her whole personality was just about loving Magda.
Also I didn't understand why Laramie was so much in love with Madga, although they never talked. All in all I hated the relationships of all the people, because I could not really see the strong bonds between characters (except maybe Magda and Oscar), because they were all dying so fast.
But a good point about this book was that it was easy to read and it did not get boring or there weren't unnecessary long chapters.
I also like the idea and the worldbulding. And I like the representation of lgbtq. Magda and Laramie are both queer and I really loved it that God/Az was using they/them pronouns.
And all in all the story was okay, I guess. I did not like that so many people were killed just like that without a real reason and just because Lucifer wanted to hurt Magda. It was a little bit unnecassary.
But yeah.. idk if I'll read the next book. I am curious somehow and I just hope that it gets maybe better and the characters get more depths, but I am scared that I'll just get dissapointed.
