A review by itabar
Bookworm by Christopher G. Nuttall
I had high hopes for this book. Libraries and magic! What's not to love?
Well, first of all, I didn't care for the narrator. She sounded fake, which may have slightly influenced how I felt about the book.
There were a couple of info-dump spots and all I could think was WHO CARES about ancient history?? Get on with the freaking story. There was a visit to a museum with the boyfriend which was solely to cram in some history and world-building which were not relevant to the plot!!
The sex scenes were unnecesarily long and descriptive. I've read romances with long, very detailed sex scenes, so I'm not a prude. I just felt they didn't add to the story or character arc. They felt very out of place in a fantasy that wasn't specifically SFR.
The heroine is an idiot.
