City of Gods and Monsters
by Kayla Edwards
DID NOT FINISH: 84%
I can't believe I got to 84% but I couldn't go any longer.
This book is 700 pages for no reason. There's so much filler that doesn't need to be there. There were glaring plot holes that I couldnt get over and things happening that didn't make sense.
At 65% I found our the FMC had a tongue ring? There was no mention of it before. I feel like if this is something that's a trait for her, that's a detail that should have been mentioned well before 64%. Not to mention it never gets mentioned again after that. So what was the point?
At 60% I find out that one of the devil's is the MMCs cousin. Again why am I finding that detail out at 60%? Why not when this character was first introduced? It also became a point that didn't matter as I continued Reading, it was never brought up again.
The characters personalities were insufferable. In the sense that I didn't even know what their personalities were. Loren was this nieve, innocent, virginal girl that was incredibly over sexualized but didn't know what to do? She was strong one page and then sobbing and making reckless decisions in the next page. I couldn't peg her down for anything. Her best friend is the absolute worst.
This story had potential, I could see the vision but I couldn't keep going when this book just seemed to never end.
