Castle of Lies by Kiersi Burkhart
2.0
Readable? Yes. Worth reading? Uh...
Look, everyone's already talking about the weird threesome that makes no sense, but the world was never explained. Also, the fact that there were zombies that were brought up once and never mentioned again was stupid. I don't even LIKE zombie stories. But if you're gonna bring in zombies, you better scare me half to death while doing it. I don't know how the Holy Kingdom works and I don't know why they were all so upset about elves coming since the king SUCKED and the kingdom was falling apart anyway. I finished the whole freaking book and I don't know how any of the world works. I don't even really understand the characters I spent the whole story with.
Long story short, too many things were brought up and either executed poorly or never mentioned again. I can tell there was a lot of work put into this, but ultimately it's just a "meh" from me. It was stupid, but it wasn't quite dumb enough for me to hate passionately. 2 stars for a very unmemorable experience.
