Wildest Dreams by Kristen Ashley

2.0

So many ellipses, so little plot. If you have to skip entire weeks/months every other chapter, it's not a good sign. That's CHEATING. That's just a lazy way to justify how the relationship between the two main characters develops while literally nothing happens. It's like two characters bonding off screen in a film?! Needless to say, I was really disappointed by this book.

The FMC's personality and how it clashed with the time/world travel scenario solely explain the 2 stars. Finnie does have some good sass, and is enough of a resilient character to create interesting situations.
However, the MMC's behaviour and all his choices SUNK the book for me. He's such a dick, I was waiting for a big redeeming arc, or at least a good grovelling scene, but no dice.
SpoilerHe tampers with her birth control and gives a whole-ass justification, a full paragraph!, to his best friend, which we are supposed to take at face value because he's from another world?? No Sir, manipulating a woman's body to achieve your own ends is a universal red flag.
It's actually so disgusting that the only way the author found to make Finnie stomach his utter betrayal is
Spoilerby *temporarily* killing him :D - which I think is hilarious. She's spitting mad, raging at him one second, and he goes down with a few arrows the next, turning her into this blubbering mess. Cue ANOTHER ellipsis, and he just comes back with dragons to save the day. It's like nothing can happen in the story without him being around.
Geez.

SpoilerAlso, I wanted dragons - there's one on the cover?? - but they only made a flash appearance towards the end, and they are officially the blandest fucking dragons in the history of fantasy.
Such a let down.
