When the writing and storytelling is so shit
That it makes my blood boil
I start mentally stammering
Bc I’m too upset and annoyed to find the right words
Just to rant about how trash this is

It may be stupid
But when she’s inner monologging about how they used to order take out all the time
She’s ashamed she can’t cook for shit
But us enjoying regular cooking for her

I found that scene so annoying

This shit writing style where the fmc at the very least
Is always fucking inner monologging to the reader

This bitch is written as so fucking spoiled

The other be backstory and scenes where it’s her and her best friend what’s his face
And the shit ex
The shit party and shitty mates intro

Yawn

Maybe bc I’m a bit older now too
Bc rereading this shit makes me realize how juvenile the voice is

The one nice thing I can say about this awful experience
Is that it’s putting me off the whole first person narrative

At least
This writing is

But it’s def kicked this writing style to the cons list for me on my own writing in the future

But gods
I’m disgusted how many times the word I
Has come up already
Truly shit writing

This is a reread

I skipped to the part where she’s out of the sled cage
Bc the stuff before that I already knew from vague memory was shit

I did not however, recall how short the writing is
I did know it wasn’t amazing at least
Clearly

But im hating everything about this rn
I know book two was unremarkable
And book three is nowhere to be fucking seen

This is like, the third or fourth time I’m rereading this series, bc there’s STILL NO NEW BOOKS.

I did come back to these notes bc I wondered what I rated this book last time..(3 stars, apparently)
And just now I was worried I gave it 4.
Gods this writing is shittier with every reread.
Barely three stars bc of the REALLY shit writing.
The “romance” is the only thing holding those 3 stars up.

Reread to prep for the second book
Finally

Not as great as I remembered

Some of it due to the comments for the second books I saw, and issues with how some of the writing in this one was pretty shit.
