2.5

I really enjoyed the mystery and intrigue that surrounded this world. I was constantly guessing and wondering the intentions of all the characters and that is a really nice aspect to a book. The Irish mythology was all around enjoying too. I’d never really read anything with their mythology before, so it was interesting to read about.
My main issue was that I wasn’t invested in the characters and story. Loving a character is such an imperative aspect to my enjoyment of a novel, and I just didn’t feel much of anything for them. I never felt like I KNEW them.
The romance, for me, started off slow and sweet, and then suddenly it was intense and everywhere. It was just instantaneous and messy. I’m already super picky with book romances, and this one just didn’t feel right in my book.
Then I was constantly.. bored.. It ended up being a chore to read, and I couldn’t stop thinking about all the other books on my shelf.
All in all, I do think this novel is a hit or miss with people. Many of my friends have adored The Wren Hunt, and I think it just wasn’t for me. It is a very unique concept, so I’d recommend it to anyone who believes it is up their alley. It’s marketed as a novel for fans of The Raven Boys, and I think that explains a lot about this novel and my rating because I didn’t like the last two novels in that series.
