TBR & Tangents by Rachel

This was… Interesting. The plot starts out fairly straightforward (as most books do) but eventually adds more and more intricacies on. It was almost too many to the point in confusion, but not quite which I was grateful for. I thought the world building was mediocre as well as the character development. This is a very PG fantasy for those worried about spice level!

My biggest contention with this book unfortunately is the writing. It feels very immature to me and overly exaggerated. I felt like the same phrases and emotions were discussed a dozen or so times which completely wore off any effect they were supposed to make on the reader. It felt like each interaction between characters added 5 pages of just expressing feelings. Which I’m all for having an intimate look into the character’s minds but this was over the top.
