Curse the Fae
by Natalia Jaster
I'm really torn on this one. It really doesn't happen often but i really am struggling with this series.
I just want more! There's not enough plot here for me. But that being said, I absolutely love the romance of this one.
Going into a series that has the three sisters pitted into these challenges to save each others lives I expected trials, or tribulations, or real actual challenges. I feel absolutely let down.
Book 1, we had the challenge of climbing the mountain. Which was the only aspect I actually enjoyed. Lark and Cerulean spoke in freaking riddles and I was so confused and lost and frustrated in their story that I didn’t enjoy it.
Book 2 was the “hunt” which. Okay, sure. For half of the story she really was hunted. I accept that. I also accept Juniper's relationship with Puck, because I love them together. The banter is amazing. His sense of humor. Fantastic. His personality. SWOON. I think I just love Pck, not sure the rest of the book matters.
Book 3. I'm struggling! I didn't enjoy the dynamic of their relationship at the beginning of this book. I didn't enjoy their dialogue and quite frankly struggled to get through the first third of the book. Her “challenge” isn't a challenge at all. She literally had to do nothing until the last 20 pages. The rest of this story was just watching their relationship grow. Which, eventually I suppose I started enjoying it. I'm not sure when, or why, or what switch was flipped. But eventually I did go from hating them together, to liking them together. But we never moved into love. It sayed at like. I smiled at them a couple times.
There just WAS NOT enough in this book for me, especially to justify the length of it. I also feel like Cove got shit on. Everyone else got their own book, but at least a third of her book also included her sisters!.
Side note: I say she got shit on, but I probably would have given up on this book if her sisters didn't show up, I was BORED. I love the dynamic of all three sisters together. And the brothers too I suppose, but they are a side note here.
3 stars. 2 for the beginning. 3 for the development in Cove's relationship with Elixir and 4 for the sisters. Averaged out to 3.
Looking forward to book 4 now that everyones together and some action might actually start going down.
End review (read: rant).
