Viper Wine by Hermione Eyre
2.0
The cover and blurb drew me in. I thought this book was right up my alley. It sounded so good and promising, but it felled flat for me. It was a DNF for me sadly, I really did try hard to move past it, hoping it would get better, but it didn't. It felt too much like a textbook; I know this is based off actual events, but I wished it was written like something that I would have to read for school. At times the writing was beautiful and I did find some sentences that I did enjoy.
Also on the writing, in the fourth chapter I think, the writing was confusing, I didn't know who we were reading about until I saw names and realized it was switching back forth between Ventia and Kenlem.
One thing that I did love also happened in the fourth chapter, in the beginning, when the author put herself in as a reporter of some sorts.
In the end I didn't like it, the plot sounded good, I just wish that it didn't seem to much like textbook.
