DNF at 60% - I couldn't take it anymore.
Sometimes the worst thing we can do is read a book by an author and think "omg I liked this, I will read another one". Sometimes we are set for disappointment, which was the case with this book. I came after reading "Six summers to Fall" and well... I liked the premise, but didn't like the delivery. Viviene is like the most annoying character in the world and for someone who is about to turn queen, is very immature. I get that she is a teenager and being immature is part of that ahah but she really had this "I like to drink whiskey like I am mature and because I am different from all the others" vibe. And the cliché with Jace being all smug - like ALL the football players - enough is enough. We all love clichés, but when they are well written...
I found myself skipping a lot of pages, because I simply was bored and ultimately I just gave up all together. Some things were not that bad, that's why I gave two stars.
