- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
yeah, this was a bit of a letdown.
my biggest issue with the girl with no reflection is the pacing. it was all over the place. some parts of the story were too long and detailed, and others weren’t fleshed out enough. the ending felt extremely rushed. i honestly think this would have been better as a duology or even a trilogy. there was just so much information, and as i said before, some details were given too much focus, while other details were lacking.
the romance was pretty bad. the FMC and the MMC bickered CONSTANTLY, and i’m not entirely sure where they found the time to fall in love. there are two love interests in this book. while love triangles don’t typically bother me, this one did. the main character, ying, was naive, and her feelings for these two men were all over the place. she fell in love with both men quickly, resulting in a very cringy love story (is there anything worse than insta-love??).
i’m disappointed. this was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and i wanted to love it so badly.
i guess you win some and you lose some!
