I tried. I really did. And since I‘m looking for new-to-me authors, I hoped to find another favorite author to follow. This book could definitely have been worse. The content was pleasant enough in general. It was clean up to the 30% mark. I even kinda liked one of the secondary characters. (Continued in comments) #dnf #readmorebooks

RobinMcElveenAuthor But the weird outbursts of passion and anger, and the blatant disregard for historical accuracy really threw me off. The dialogue wasn‘t terrible, but again, some of the words/phrases were too modern. I just felt bummed. There‘s potential here, but as it is right now, I‘ll have to pass. 7d
RobinMcElveenAuthor One other major issue which I forgot to mention (dunno how…🤦‍♀️) was the incessant POV flipping. I kept up, but that would throw someone like my youngest. 6d
