The Forest Where the Phoenix Sleeps by Brooke Marley Jones
DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I had to DNF this book. 2 stars if any unfortunately. The writing was muddy and all over the place, I constantly had to re-read parts to see if I missed something, the stereotype of her best friend Sasha was… concerning… and the “romance” wasn’t there at all until suddenly it was “I love you” despite all the fighting. I’m severely disappointed from all the 5 star reviews. This honestly did not seem professionally written to me, which I feel bad about saying but… it was just too hard to get through.
