A review by dapper
Wildest Dreams by Kristen Ashley

This is the story of a very special snowflake named MarySu- I mean.. Finny. The special snowflake lands in the ice kingdom and takes the place of her evil twin with the same name. She’s incredibly beautiful, funny, kind. She’s become skilled at archery to relate to her twins father. She’s learned to dance well for the courts. She’s learned daggers for her husband. She’s even brought a small abused child completely out of his shell. Oh. And she’s able to do horse tricks. All of this within 5 months!
So yeah. She’s all around perfect.
There is a lot of over detailing and drawn-out descriptions that waste time; in the sense that they’re not pertinent to the progression of the story.
What really galls me is the SLANG. Complete overuse of “oh my god!” and “how cool!” and “wow, totally!” in the narration. And “freaking” I get that it’s supposed to be how the girl thinks and talks BUT as I’m trying to read the story and get into it, her valley girl rhetoric is extremely detracting. Used sparingly, it would still convey her personality and mindset without making the literature seem like an elongated twitter post.
Short and sweet: She’s annoying.
Whether the story being told is interesting enough to overshadow the prior or I’m so hard up for good books right now that I’m settling (everything I want is either on hold or too pricey to risk)
