The Betrothed by Kiera Cass
2.0
I feel let down. The beginning of the story was good. But then nothing of interest ever happened to build up the story. And then all of a sudden, everything was rushed, which had me thinking, “how did we get here so fast? Where was the conflict? Did I miss a few chapters?” I literally flipped through the book to check if I missed anything.
The plot was flat and minimal, the characters were disappointing. I couldn’t picture their faces, clothes or even the places they lived. Descriptions were left wanting. I finished reading the book knowing next to nothing about the characters (the main character didn’t even know herself, until a certain someone starts complementing her...). Where was the romance??? I wish there was more substance!
I really enjoyed Kiera Cass books, especially The Selection series (America’s story anyway), and had been looking forward to this one for a while. The book ended with a hill-hanger, but the majority of the book I was bored. I may read the next book, but definitely won’t spend the money to purchase it.
