vigil 's review for:
Warrior Princess Assassin
by Brigid Kemmerer
DID NOT FINISH: 20%
I wanted to like this book, but unfortunately I just couldn't.
To start with, for an adult debut, the writing and dialogue are remarkably juvenile. Relying on the same hallmarks of YA fiction (overuse of italics, reliance on banter and UST than real conversation and dynamics, bland broody men, bland protective men, no discernible personality for the fmc yet everyone still wants her, the first person pov with too much sass and too little sense) I fail to see how this book is distinguishable enough from Kemmerer's previous works to be an adult debut. The characters are neurotic and uninspired and the setting is poorly sketched. It's a hard sell as a romantasy book, when none of the character interest you, and the romance seems tiresome already. Sadly, this was a DNF for me.
