Was listening to it on audiobook. The male narrators voice was annoying me, therefore I couldn't get into the story.

Seemed like all smut no plot from the get go. The language was really crude. Not to my taste

Prelude of Fire

Christine E. Schulze

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

I felt like there was too much happening too soon in the first 2 chapters and the prelude of the book, there were a lot of characters introduced in a short space of time and I struggled to remember who everybody was and how they were connected. In addition to this the beginning seemed busy, I had to keep flitting back to confirm my comprehension.

I didn't relate to the FMC, whilst, I understand she is young, she appeared quite immature for her age, despite wanting to go on a rather mature adventure.

I felt like too much and not enough was happening at the same time.

There are a few things that I really appreciated from the book though as well:

Firstly, I LOVE a map. And I really liked the guide that accompanied this, I felt it was very unique and I wish I saw this more often.

The blurb is intriguing, making the reader want to read more 

The cover is just beautiful.

I really liked the Zelda quest style vibes I was getting from the story.

DID NOT FINISH: 54%

I just could not get into this book. I tried, I really did as I really enjoyed kennedy Ryan's previous books. However, this one was not my cup of tea. I found it boring at best.

I listened to an audiobook and the thing that usually puts me off is the narration. However in this case I enjoyed the narrators. I think that's partly why I persevered as long as I did.

I got over half way and felt loke i should continue but I can't face another 6 and a half hours when I have no investment in the story. I ended up not really listening to it anyways in the end.

There are a couple if things I liked though.

The fact that it is a standalone but part of the interconnected series. I was already familiar with the characters and was pleased to find out this story focused on Lo as she intrigued me in the previous 2 books of the series (however the investment dismissed as I progressed).

I really liked how the themes if Lo's upbringing and experience of voodoo was a thread that continued throughout the story.

Though there were some redeems qualities, it was nit enough for me to continue. I really enjoyed the previous 2 books of the series and am disappointed at the anti climax with thus third and final installment.

Just couldn't get into it. The characters were to prim and proper and just seemed too flat. It had such good reviews so I tried, I really did try but it just isn't for me.
