Bride by Ali Hazelwood
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.0
I kind of hate loving an author so much that I always think their books are going to be amazing. And sometimes they’re just… not it.
Listen, I’m obsessed with Ali. The way she writes characters is flawless and I fall in love with every single person she writes, MCs to the most unimportant of side characters. That holds up in Bride. 100%.
But the plot? I found myself almost totally uninterested. There were a few moments that I was like “oh I wonder what’s going to happen” but for the most part, it didn’t drag me in the way her books usually do.
The world building was a bit informational rather than storytelling and I think that just turned me off in the beginning.
I hope she writes more fantasy. I think it’ll only be more and more amazing. But this did not do it for me unfortunately.
