fallingwings 's review for:

Hawk by Gabrielle Charbonnet, James Patterson

---

Okay, I bought this book. Was super excited to hop into this book. Flipped through it. Realized one or two chapters were from Max's POV. Okay. Fine. Flipped through it some more, and realized that this isn't a book that centers around Max's daughter. This is a book where her daughter basically shares the spotlight with her. Look, I loved Max in the original series, but after 9 books, I'm burnt out on her all the same. Was it really nessecary to have Max share the spotlight with her daughter in this book? I knew Max would make an appearance, because...well duh. It's Max and this book was supposed to be about her daughter. But having Max just play a role and giving her half of the spotlight are two completely different things. I got this because I wanted to read about Hawk. Not Hawk AND Max. We had NINE books centered around Max. She didn't need to share the limelight in this one.

Idk if I'm even going to read this now. I know I should try to give it a chance, but just...ugh. I'm turned off by how many chapters I saw by just skimming through it that are told from Max's perspective.
