A review by heabooknerd
Errant, Volume One by L.K. Fleet
2.0
Unfortunately, ERRANT did not really work for me and I'm bummed because the description sounded really interesting. I only ended up reading the first novella, CALAMITY'S DANCE, so this review will only be focused on that.
Overall, my biggest issue was that I just didn't feel any emotion in the writing and this made it feel very mechanical and detached. Because of that I couldn't get invested in the characters and my interest to read the second novella just wasn't there. I also didn't really enjoy Charm and without her POV she just came across as annoying; maybe this changes in the second novella and readers learn more about her other than her thieving?
Last I really struggled with the names (Cooperation, Integrity, Unity, Mortification) and I found them more distracting than interesting, especially in the fight scenes. It was very jarring to read about a character named Cooperation fighting and trying to kill Aspen. This is obviously a me thing so it may not bother other readers. ERRANT just wasn't for me I guess.
