A review by pinakamataas
Gypsy Rising by Kristy Cunning

adventurous emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

This was more romantic, just as the author promised. I mean, it’s all sorts of fucked up, but it was more darkly romantic in a way.

Violet builds something truly admirable, and stands her ground on principles - she completely circumvents the guys and makes laws for a better future - but to be fair, she doesn’t grow as a character, she just stands by her principles. But her actions are trying to force other characters to grow (spoiler alert: not yet).

And while some actions from men went from, oooh, we’re locked in a room for five months and didn’t notice Jerome around to. Oh, I’m gonna take the baby Jasper and basically adopt steal him and help around the sanctuary to get in the future mommy’s good graces 🤭 the guys went through some sort of unhinged here. 

And I do love unhinged.

But Kristy Cunning loves her cliffhangers. I’d suggest never picking up her books unless there’s the next one lined up (admittedly the end of the third one was worse).
