The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

Brigitte Knightley

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

  • felt as if we started in the middle of the story, where the whole worldbuilding had been explained already and we’d gotten to know the characters. It felt as if we fell in the middle of the story without any context at all
  • The writing style feels juvenile and didn’t work for me
  • No depth to the characters, very one dimensional and almost comical in how they acted a certain part. The dialogue should be funny but only made me cringe in a not good way. 
  • The book feels and reads very much as a fanfic, where the characters and world are already established and have no need to be developed well to understand and love the story, but that isn’t the case here; making the lack of development a bit part of me not enjoying the book

Just found myself bored with the story and struggled to pick it up to continue. Decided to DNF it instead of forcing myself

Felt bored with the story and didn’t feel anything for the characters. It also all felt like filler and nothing really happened plotwise

Found myself unable to dive into the story and a bit annoyed at the main character. 

Shadowborn Academy: Year One

G. Bailey, Scarlett Snow

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

The story seemed a bit all over the place. I found myself bored with the characters and found no apparent plot; so it seemed like the story was going nowhere. 
I also noticed I was forcing myself to continue on reading, so decided it was better to DNF the book
