Reviews with content warning for Lesbophobia - De erfenis

loved it - the secret compartments, the "traps upon traps"... but
the little things i didn't like were:
- that jameson is a slightly drained version of keefe sencen, but way more vague. normally i'd like characters like keefe, but this one? nah. where he lacked in character, he made up for in many riddles and somewhat poetic words that i didn't mind, but i was kind of like, "can someone give this man a personality, please? he seems likeable. but like. a void."
- the ages. bestie, this is a high school junior, seventeen, and she's romantically interacting with an eighteen- and nineteen-year-old with no regards for their age. no one else seemed to care that this was happening illegally either. they were just like, "gossip, gossip, gossip."
- nash also seemed a bit empty?? is that just me?? dunno
- avery's life before the inheritance. it feels like it wasn't developed enough and that part of the story was just kinda skipped over.
- avery's name. i get that

Spoiler

it was a puzzle and scrambled thingamabob in the end

but the name avery just doesn't sit right with me. it's harder to read in an odd way. no offense to anyone named avery, i'm sure you're all lovely people! /gen
that's about all the bad things i had to say about this book, so now for some good things!
- the puzzles???? this man made nothing easy, and this woman wrote them in the best way possible.
- the brothers????? if their magnetic traits were ramped up any further, this could've been a thriller
- the

Spoiler

near-death experiences????

holy ship!! totally unexpected!! which leads me into my next one:
- max! what the elf?? this and many other phrases are bound to be inside jokes between me and my friend for a long time.

i might add to this later because it's almost nine thirty at night and i am t i r e d. mainly made this review for my friend to become a discussion point, so i might add to it later if i remember! stay cool y'all

This was not exciting or entertaining at any point and because of this book I'm finally going to give up on reading things just because they're popular, ya'll have questionable taste.

This read like a middle grade, not a young adult novel, but a very boring middle grade novel with terrible dialogue. It was also predicable in some parts, and then the ending was really lack luster.

I'm giving this one out of five stars, I did not enjoy this at all.

I listened to this for free on libbyapp.com

Okay so I unabashedly loved this. Yes, it was predictable and yeah, I figured out most of the clues and twists before they happened, but also? Just a fun read I couldn’t wait to pick up every evening.
