Mel (Epic Reading)’s Reviews > Vile Lady Villains > Status Update

Audio is going better, the lesbian sex scenes are decent… but mostly I’m still finding it a bit too pretentious and Shakespearean.

I’ve managed to secure an audiobook to listen to the last half of this. Thank goodness as I do not think I would have made it otherwise.
Each of our ladies is a different narrator; Lady Macbeth’s having a Scottish brogue that fits nicely.
At least listening to this I am not quite as bored as I can do crafts while the ladies drone on. Although I do like their little sapphic comments about one another.

I have no real explanation… but I’m so bored… so picking up a book I desperately want to read and hopefully I come back to this one

Below is an example of the pretentious, excessive language:
”…that absurd amalgamation of drunk donkey and vainglorious fool, fumbles with something for a bit—and the dark subsides.”
Add on the (somewhat) random Shakespeare lines and I’m feeling like this book wants me to feel dumb or illiterate. Which I am not.
Please writers, use well known quotes or give me a hint as to the referenced play.

This is interesting… maybe a bit pretentious… we will see how it goes.

When the author gives you the ‘history’ of the characters she is about to screw with, you know it’s gonna be good! :)
