The Heir
by Frost Kay
Oh my gosh, this wasn’t the last book. I’m out.
They introduced two new POVs that really didn’t have anything to do with the storyline. I was reading them thinking, “what is the point of this right now?”
This book had all the same problems as the last two books
Inconsistency and hypocrisy. The funny thing is, the author would call these out in the book. She called Tempest out for ruining everything, which she did. The second book called Tempest out for being on her high horse. So I don’t know why the author built the characters like this in to call them out after.
The romance was a little cringe at the very end. And for such a slow burn, it actually felt like insta love since Tempest was so against it for so long. That’s why it was cringe, it felt forced.
Also, I noticed the author has trouble revealing information. Maybe that’s why she always had those prelude chapters to help her out. But big revelations, like Pyre’s origins, were just randomly said in passing, there was no build up or purpose. It was as if the author decided we should know at that point and threw it in there. There was no weaving in the story.
I tried to enjoy this series and gave it a fighting chance but it was so inconsistent, I can’t give it more than one star.
I feel bad critiquing so harshly but I really was looking forward to this series. The plot was promising and it seems like many people enjoy the series. I’m happy for them but it really doesn’t impress me. To each their own.
