Only two stars
I approached these 3 books with an open mind. However, so much of Juliette is so ridiculous it defies belief. The author has written this young woman as some kind of super intellect, she’s studied calculus, quantum mechanics(!!!??) dead languages, all Romance languages, ballet etc etc etc. Plus she’s an expert in fashion, make up, deportment………and she drives super powerful sports cars and she’s just 21!!! come on this borders on the insane and barely avoids descending into the absurd.
I mean I’m all for a bit of fantasy, but seriously, this stretches my boundaries of belief to the snapping point. She’s so smart and and yet so stupid. She allows her life to be run by a bunch of men, one of whom has ‘purchased’ her as a young child and wants her groomed to be his perfect wife. Her father agrees and the ‘master’ is hired. Puleeeze. She obsesses over the invisible husband to be and allows herself to be publicly humiliated, gawked at, and generally treated like an object because this is how its supposed to be with the super rich? Yeah, you lost me there Raven Jayne. And to add further insult to the reading world, there are TEN books????!!! Holy mackerel. Raven should have written this series in 3 maybe 4 books and put the readers out their misery sooner.
There are so many disagreeable elements in this story its hard to narrow it down to a reasonable length for a review. But simply put, these books are rubbish. The ‘master’ is the most unappealing male character I’ve read in a long time. But Juliette is a disgrace. I’m thinking I should make this review a 1 star. But I’m giving it two for lack of spelling and grammar errors. Seriously, don’t waste your time on these if you have any sense of self worth. Juliette has none and frankly, I could care less.
