The Goddess of Blood and Bone by Nattie Kate Mason
1.5
adventurous dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I feel like this book had a lot of potential but it just completely missed the mark for me. The characters felt flat, maybe it would have been better if I had read her other series but this series is not advertised as a continuation and it is said you don't need to have read her previous series. The plot was fine, it progressed quite fast and featured the insta love trope which I am not a fan of. The power dynamics in the first spicy scene did not feel right to me and were questionable at best. Had these things been different I think I would have enjoyed the plot at least but overall I really didn't enjoy this.

Also this really needed more editing because there were so many mistakes in my copy? The line space formating changed halfway through the book and at one point was inconsistent within a single page. There was missing punctuation and it had lots of spelling mistakes - even at one point getting the title of the book wrong?! (The phrase read the Goddess of Bone and Bone). The cover art is amazing though.
