As I came to the fourth and longest chapter in this book, I realised I really didn't care enough to go on. DNF

BAIL ❌ This kind of writing is exhausting. So much telling with little showing. So basic. A line of dialogue followed by, essentially, stage directions. Over and over for eternity. Once this clicked in my brain, it couldn‘t be undone. And I feel like this could take place anywhere just add some cool creatures; a severe lack of world building. I was quickly reminded of why I rated Iron Flame only 3 stars. After 8 chapters, I‘m out.

britt_brooke @dabbe I never bail. I‘m proud of myself! 😆 5h
TheDaysGoBy I read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and I hate that I‘m kinda curious where the story went. But the writing style was dreadful - completely agree with you 5h

MeganAnn This is one of the reasons I‘m very hesitant to start this series, even though I‘m mildly curious to see what all the hype is about. 4h
britt_brooke @TheDaysGoBy I might have to google spoilers. 😂 3h
britt_brooke @MeganAnn The writing is so bad. I also didn‘t like the audio narration. Might‘ve been a better experience in print. 3h
TheDaysGoBy @britt_brooke It‘s not much better in print 😂 I can only imagine how the audio is. I typically can‘t do fiction on audio because the voices narrators do sometimes I find super annoying 2h
britt_brooke @TheDaysGoBy Ha!! The main narrator made me hate Violet. (edited) 2h
5feet.of.fury @britt_brooke I love an unpopular opinion 😂, I am enjoying it, and I knew what to expect as I had audiobooked the other 2, but this narrator is not my favorite. She does the same growl voice for Xaden, Tairn & sometimes Violet and I‘m like “who tf is talking?” 2h

I wanted to love this, I really did. Having had no cable📺 until after I was 12, there was a lot of TNG to go around🛸 I‘m was & an a fan of Stewart‘s acting however this, for me was a dud. #HailTheBail at 30%

I tried reading this book TWICE. I made it to page 76 this time, but the writing is messy and sidetracks every other page. Nothing really interesting has happened, and all the characters are weird and not in an appealing way. Couldn‘t connect to anything.

Enough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂

The title is the only good part of this book.

4/80

Bailed at 12%. I couldn‘t stand these silly women much longer.

I really wanted to like this, as the premise sounded awesome. But for me, it didn‘t live up to the premise. I struggled to become engaged in the story and to connect with any of the characters. Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the hype, but this one wasn‘t for me.
