Enthralled
by Sylvia Mercedes
This series started off so strong for me. I was so in love with the world and the magic system that I never thought I would end up here, finding this series to be “meh” at best.
Right off the hop in this one, we're thrown right back into the same amnesia trope that we started off with in book one. So. Nothing new there. Same old, same old. Then we enter a romantic relationship with Danny. As we saw in book one.. so, nothing new there. But then we get the surprise pregnancy trope! Which threw me off because… why? Her whole pregnancy minus one small plot point could have been an epilogue and not affected my experience with this book at all. We also get a fun time jump! Which is my least favorite thing in books and I hate when authors do it. We literally jump ahead SEVEN years, but yet pretty much nothing has changed in the world. There's a couple people who have hooked up, and Clara's abandoned orphans grew up, but other than that everything is basically the same. Even Vervain is still locked in her tower.
This book was predictable, extremely slow, and full of filler. Clara's character is so weak considering all of the power she's supposed to behold. She's whiny and she makes all of the worst decisions. Every. Single. Time.
It took me ages to get through this book. It took me ages to get through this series. I'm just going to sit over here, broken hearted. The Venatrix Chronicles were all 5 stars for me, I loved it so much. I'm quite disappointed that I haven't loved anything else from this author.
