chantaal 's review for:

The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick
DID NOT FINISH

This book annoyed the shit out of me, and I ended up not even getting a hundred pages in.

There were many things that bothered me, but what ended up killing my interest was the random POV jumping. Some chapters last three pages and focus on the POV of some random person in the court, sometimes POVs change in a single paragraph, or the narrative lets us in on the private thoughts of at least two-three characters in a single section. It made everything feel disconnected for me, and I couldn't keep going.
