Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge

3.0

This is going to be a short review. Because I’ve already written this review three times. This is my fourth. And my laptop loves being uncooperative. The first time, my laptop died, the second time, I forgot to save changes, and the third time I lost internet connection.

Anyway, I expected to really love this book. I didn’t, unfortunately. I really wasn’t feeling this book a lot. I do remember enjoying Cruel Beauty a lot.

I guess as a main character, Rachelle was okay. She was quite complex and sometimes she made decisions that made no sense to me just because she was feeling angry or betrayed over stupid issues. She wasn’t a bad character, but overall, she was kind of frustrating and too complex.

And the love triangle. Don’t get me started on this. I hated it. It was not a love triangle. UGH.

The mythology and the narrating was pretty fun to read about though! I didn’t mind that! I love the way Rosamund Hodge can tell a story! :D This story isn’t all Little Red Riding Hood, but I did enjoy it!

Overall, Crimson Bound is a book I liked, but there were certain points that kind of annoyed me. I liked the world, thought it was creative, but I felt like it could've been executed better.
