Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton

2.0

TBH, I struggled with whether I should give Hero at the Fall 1 star or 2. A quarter of the way into it I considered DNFing. I was frustrated and annoyed with a character choice that felt incredibly unbelievable, maddening and ridiculous. I ended up taking a short break and coming back to the story because even though I was disappointed with the story in general, I was invested enough in the characters to want to know what became of them.

Sadly, things continued to disappoint. The storytelling was sloppy, inconsistent, shallow and repetitive. Time and again, the choices the characters made felt unrealistic and maddening. In addition to feeling unconvinced and annoyed, I was bored.

I could go on, I could elaborate but, meh, I just want to be done with it. I wish I hadn’t wasted my time on this series and do not recommend it.
