Jo’s Reviews > The Weaver Bride: Book 1 > Status Update

I love when characters say things that are simply false to generate quotes.

Also: MMC has admitted he loves FMC and she clearly loves him too. Her motivation to marry Noé is so escape the cloister. But now, all the stakes are gone. Just run off into the sunset with MMC. Or scheme with him to stay in the trial but lose to find the key and killer. Why are you making this unnecessarily dramatic?

I’m so over this book

Nothing about the emotional progression between the MMC and FMC feels natural. It feels like the author had a couple of vague ideas and tropes, write some quotable passages, and then molded the story around it. The romance is horrendous and the leads are insufferable when they’re around each other

Unfortunately, the FMC is utterly too stupid and makes mistakes too grave for her to be as smart and witty as she is supposed to be. (Also - of course Noe is the dude who took the book from the library and Ophelia’s correspondence. Please put two and two together as quickly as you catch feeling for a man you don’t know)

So what is the color of his eyes? Gold? Green? Hazel? Which one is it? Or are we going to rotate through the color wheel and the reader can just pick whichever one they like the best like we’re at build a bear?

While I like the concept of the story and the writing, this book reads really slow. I fight for every sentence. It’s not as engaging as it should be.

Also, if Eliot is supposed to be the FMCs LI, then he’ll need to have a ton to make up. He’s not left a single good impression yet
