A review by imxgu
A Prince So Cruel by Ingrid Seymour
2.0
umm… i don’t know what to think or how to feel about this book. a lot of it seems a little too inspired by other titles, and it seemed to heavily focus on that. the more original sounding ideas weren’t as focused on as i wish it was though. i feel like the man by day and beast by night thing would’ve worked without all these extra things in between.
the mentions of a “secret circle” screamed acotar too much for me. and i really dislike how 2d the characters felt. the main leads didn’t feel that thought out and the proclaimed attraction between them seemed forced. also, i didn’t like how everyone turned on her. it was very much a back and forth dance between the secret circle liking dani and then going back to “hating” her. dani also doesn’t seem like a strong character either. she can’t get a grip and her powers aren’t that well explained. how does she recharge? does she know when her powers are almost out? how were her powers better than the fae’s healing powers when the king went down?
overall this storyline was just everywhere and i felt a bit disappointed because it could’ve been such a cool story if the “inspirations” stayed as inspirations only. not sure if i’ll buy the rest of the series, honestly.
