lambsbooks 's review for:

Castle of the Cursed by Romina Garber
2.0

This is going to be one big spoiler so don’t read any of it if you don’t want to be spoiled. 

But also, don’t read this book. 

I have so many issues with this book. 

1. The characters. One-dimensional with no real-sounding emotions. The beginning had promise, with her depression and suicidal tendencies but those fell short as well.

2. The romance. 
What the fuck was that? Two weeks. That’s the time frame of this book and yet her and Sebastian fall in love and get vampire-married. 
She’s 17 and he’s who knows how old. 
What the hell? 
This was so cringe. 
All their interactions were cringe. She gets mad when Felipe (what the fuck was that character too) forces himself on her then she forces herself on Sebastian later? Gross. 

3. Her twin. Her aunts twin. I didn’t see that coming but I hated that whole plot line, which was basically the story. They were all horrible. 

4. The other dimensions and beings. It just felt like it didn’t fit with the story. Didn’t help that it wasn’t explained enough, but it was weird.

5. The plot. Super dumb. And written childishly. 
“I wAnNa TaKe OvEr ThE wOrLd” okay, calm down. 

6. The ending. 
Fuck that final “reveal” Like, no, I don’t do non-HEA and if the twin survived over Estela, that’s a non-HEA. People who have read this book, how could you possibly have missed the VERY LAST LINE where it makes it clear that it’s not Estela that survived but the twin. How did Sebastian not notice that she is calling him “Bast”??? How does he think it’s normal for Estela to lure men to the castle for him to hunt?? These are VERY OBVIOUS things her twin does, but oh no, this guy loves Estela, so he clearly can tell. Jesus Christ.

_____________
Nope.
