hateay 's review for:
The Scarlet Alchemist
by Kylie Lee Baker
I feel like I say this about every book but yeah… this one started out promising but then quickly declined. I liked the writing, the prose, cool power system, initially thought the resurrection plot was so interesting. I liked the idea of the MC a lot more than how she was executed, because she was headstrong to the point of annoying and defiant to the point of stupidity. Every interaction with the prince ended in her exploding in anger that it was almost comical.
Speaking of the prince, he was a loser, so much so that I had trouble believing his moments of intelligence. I get what the author was going for but I did not find him endearing in the slightest and the romance was icky.
The cousins annoyed me to hell, but the ending was interesting. If I liked the cousins I think the ending would have set up a really cool premise that I would be interested in exploring. As it stands, I will not be continuing the series. Finally, yeah, there is no way they solved all of china’s problems in like an hour. THAT was unrealistic and ridiculous.
