katiemhuang 's review for:
Blade of Secrets
by Tricia Levenseller
oof this book was not for me. the main character of this book is infuriating to me. she is painfully naive. at first I was like woah! a character who experiences legitimate anxiety and panic! that is refreshing to read!
but instead it became difficult to read. how did she become an adult?? how did she grow up raising her sister (when her sister seems to very clearly be raising her). I enjoy a nice slow burn and clueless flirting but this was too far. she needs someone to explain everything to her and seems to have so little awareness of the world. it’s like when you watch a character be what everyone needs from them and avoid ever being their own person.
she cares about her sister but is clueless about how the codependency is unhealthy and might strain the relationship. I hoped for maybe some growth but instead it just goes back and forth at adoring people and hating people.
