Starlight’s Reviews > Queen's Purge > Status Update

one last
maybe
note

i don’t blame shara at all
she’s actually been getting better overall

it’s just this fucking author and how the story is unfolding and written

doesnt do shara and house isador justice in my opinion

like i said
this could been great
this entire series
each book could’ve been great

but the writing didnt live up to it for me

a real shame.

idk what to rate this

my feeling rn is two stars for how poorly this was put together

the unnecessary shit taking up space
and not enough of the good shit that actually carried the story

if nothing else
this author has taught me not to follow their example

such a shit way to bring about their stories

not just the book titles and releases being inconsistent

the writing structure and lack of finesse

ugh.

i feel sweaty and off kilter

i wonder if i’ll reread this entire series before reading the next book
if and when it ever comes out

i wonder how much of this book i’ll retain by then

damn but i wanted less and more at the same damn time

.

bleh

i’m so fucking annoyed rn

don’t know when or if the third book will come out

i’m likely to not get it for a year at least i feel like

i’m BARELY interested in the other short stories

ESPECIALLY since this author decided to go the route of this spin off series for shara isador

i could not care LESS about the other queens
those books arent even memorable

book one was so much more memorable i think

and not just bc ive read it twice now

this book had so much shit crammed into it
mainly since the halfway point

so many diff scenes and situations

ugh
all those damn unnecessary chapters comes to mind

either get rid of them now and in the future

or spend more time on the better scenes
or make the book longer

i’m getting more pissed off the more i think about this fucking shit

i must’ve felt some type of way after the previous book on my first read of it too to rate it two stars

and damn if i don’t feel like rating this book two stars instead

.

we got too much of shit i didnt care for
and brushed over and speed run scenes of what i actually wanted and craved

more meaningful scenes

her torturing killing marne basically off screen was a waste

she’s been hyped up since day fucking one with how fucking scary and powerful she apparently is / was

but all of that is just whatever to me

my biggest grievance is with the three surviving old but new isador blood we just got back
already forgot their names

and no wonder
they got next to no screen time before the story ended there

damn it

less than fifty pages left then and this entire mess was over with IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

ughhhhhh

what a fucking waste

rosalind whats her face and all her blood is dead
no repercussions from the goddesses

marne the bitch rome queen is very likely dead
and at the hands of a random appearance by some queen named Haides
i can’t recall if she got a short book yet

welp
i’m pleasantly surprised with this ending

this entire last half of this book went by too fucking quick
and thats just after all that useless stuff in the first half i already ranted about

so this ending
while not a terrible cliffhanger that enrages me
was awful

in the fact that it was done and over with so quickly

^like i can obviously tell this author writing things the way they do to drag out the story in certain parts
hard to explain
it’s like
it’s obviously a ploy to create more opportunities to market and exploit this story
over and over again

it’s been tacky before
and clearly
continues to be so

sometimes it’ll seem as though things improve
mainly with the creativity
but it’s never enough
