That was a let down.

Things are definitely picking up at this end of the book but I just realised how weak the motivation is for the characters to try to break in to the eternal city’s archives. They just want to get in there to, what, see what’s inside? Jaaaaa, you wouldn’t be able to convince me to risk my life just to have a peek in a room, just to satisfy my curiosity. No guys, this book is not sharp. Suspend your disbelief.

I don’t know how many more f*ck’s and f*cking’s I can handle. It’s like someone said to the author: sure you can swear, this book’s for adults. And she was like, F*UCK YEAH LET’S DO IT!

Just when I thought Bryce was super smart, she goes and does something so stupid. Really? Hide someone everyone is looking for with people close to you? Yeah, they’re not gonna look there at all. Huh.

A bunch of people die right in front of you and your friends, and you, what, continue your discussion as if nothing happened? Seriously guys, I don’t know how much more ridiculousness of this book I can handle.

Honestly, I am not afraid of smut, but this just feels like a bunch of collage kids getting it on. It just doesn’t have any… passion? Romance? I don’t know, but whatever it is that’s missing is causing me to cringe — literally cringe — whenever Bryce and Hunt feel each other up. I mean, in the hallway, guys? Seriously? Where someone just walked pst? So over it.

Meh
