A review by laurelconover
Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
0 hate to the writer, all of my issues with the book are my opinions and should be taken with a grain of salt, if you do like anything that I dislike thats a OK with me.
I felt like the main character ter was a bad mix of a cliche Mary Sue/Bella from Twilight/Manic Pixie Dream Girl/2010s Adorkable that just rubbed me completely the wrong way. It felt like she was an idea of a person, personality quirks shoved together without any substance to hold them together. I didn't get very far into the book though, so this might have improved as the story went on, but right now I couldn't get into the story when I kept going 'Really? That's what how we're doing this?' After every other sentence because it just felt so awkward. (Felt like reading something on Wattpad after reading AO3/expecting to read AO3 quality)
That being said, the premis is very interesting and it's likely that I will come back to it later, with better understanding of what the book is, and I might ret-con this entire review and love this book but we'll see. Right now this is a DNF from me with the possibility of revisiting it down the line.
