noxacanthus 's review for:

The Princess Trials by Cordelia Castel
2.0
dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A cross between The Bachelor and The Hunger Games, but worse than both. The plot whips around at breakneck speed, never fully explaining anything, and leaving the reader with whiplash. There are some dark scenes that are only there for the shock value - no time to mourn; onto the next plot point. Would not recommend.
