Tormented by Elayna R. Gallea
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
I was waiting for this book, but it did not deliver. Reasons I`m DNFing it:
- I am tired of reading how smart, logical and what a scholar Luna is every three paragraphs. Yes, I get it, she is smart, I don`t have to be reminded about it every hundred words.
- Luna is described as logical, but she is not acting like one in certain situations.
- Let`s talk about Bastian, who, from a mighty, powerful and feared Prince of Darkness in first book is becoming a mopping random dude in this book. I get it, he is suffering because his beloved is suffering, but all he does is look at her with sad eyes and is not even able to tell a truth he knows - Luna has to come by herself to conclusions. Also, this `tell her the truth` is happening in 3 or 4 chapters and I didn`t enjoy that.
I liked the first book; the pace was good, there actually were events that happened, the chemistry between the characters was on point. I don`t know is Tormented is structured as a transitional book in the trilogy (aka second book syndrome), but I am not enjoying the story, the character development or the vibe.
