Paths of Malice by Sylvia Mercedes
3.0
The most interesting part of this book was the last line of prologue. Do you know how painful it is? To read an entire book and the most interesting part was the prologue? I cry.
I give it 3 stars for that big revelation.
Don't look at me reading a series I said I wouldn't read. I am not letting this series beat me ok. I am going to get the truth out of Sylvia I don't care how many of these I need to read. I am now competing with Sylvia. That's the real competition.
We get a new character and the makings of more building blocks to uncover mysteries, but again, the biggest bombshell was in the prologue. The progress to uncovering the truth is taking too long for my tastes. And I know. I know you can do anything in a book and there are lots of books that don't reveal mysteries till the end. But the difference is, there are good reasons for the mysteries not being revealed. Here, we don't get good justification for why we can dig into these leads! It's the worst!
A character finds something that is literally world-changing and what do they do with it? Nothing! NOTHING!! But she could! She could tell someone, she could do something more with it! She doesn't! She just holds onto it and almost loses the evidence because she refuses to do anything with it! I have high-blood pressure now.
There are so many leads we are given that the characters do nothing. The characters really don't have strong enough personalities for me to draw conclusions on their motives. Oh and do not get me started with this stilted romance play. These urges that come out of literal no where. These character who supposedly hate each other now suddenly can't help looking at each other?? Why? What changed? I didn't see the change. I didn't see a reason for them to suddenly be attracted to each other when there are much bigger things they should be doing and questioning. That campfire scene? I am not convinced.
She better get her memories back in the next book or so help meeeee.
I'm sorry I hate tearing into books but I am so frustrated y'all don't understand. I'm sorry. If you love this series, I am happy for you. Sana all.
