Untitled by Spiryt Marie

emotional reflective medium-paced

Giving poetry star ratings always feels like a disservice to someone who poured their heart out onto a page. This poetry collection was mainly written in free-verse and delved into Spiryt’s struggle with body image, her loneliness, grief, friendships, and self-discovery. It’s a collection that I think a lot of twenty somethings can relate to at least one poem within. I hope Spiryt will continue to hone her poetry and I hope she’ll continue to share it💗

Thank you to Wattpadbooks and Bella Higgins for the e-arc in exchange for a review. I have adored the Belle Morte series thus far! This third installment felt disconnected from the first two, in part because this one focused on Roux and Ludovic’s relationship. Honestly, the quickness of their relationship development didn’t really feel any faster than Renie’s and Edmonds. This story was following up on the main plot that’s been unfolding which was great, it was difficult to come back to the plot with two different characters, honestly. I really struggled to be immersed into the story the same way I had been with Renie and Edmond which was a bit of a bummer. The main plot, however, was truly, just as intense and twisty as the first two books. I’m still really intrigued to see where the series will go! Maybe it was just me at this time and my mood reading, honestly!
