wildflouwir 's review for:
This Ravenous Fate
by Hayley Dennings
The tension could really be cut with a knife, loved the backstory and set up but I often found myself asking "why are we doing this?" I really hope this is a series because I'd love to see Layla & Elise's relationship re-blossoms & what they do about the Saint family-mayor-reaper cure situation.
I'm not sure if this was on purpose but I also found myself not really caring about the worldly stakes outside of the romance, maybe I was reading too quickly but I was also confused by some of the ending events.
Lastly there were times were I felt like the author showed injustice & then explained it, I think it's more impactful so just show it because it shows up in the plot- I'm not sure if this makes sense lol. I also think there's times when Layla is trying to explain injustices to Elise- which I understand is to get Elise to acknowledge her privilege because she's well off, but it's like babessss ur white & shes black. I'm pretty sure if she wasn't in a trauma hellscape she'd have her eyes more open to the outside world.
Fairly low in spice. So happy that there's more sapphic representation in fantasy!!
