A review by elistar
The Magic of Eternity by Britt Andrews
2.0
2.5 stars. This book needed to be at least twice as long.
I just finished this series and the ending felt so… unsatisfying. While I really enjoy the characters and their stories, the big finale itself felt way too easy and short, the characters never felt fully reconnected, it went on a huge tangent about PPD instead of bringing the story to a close. It almost felt like the author shied away from really delving into the scenes I most wanted to see. I also often felt like the author lost track of the story many times in order to make a point to be “realistic” with things like depression, trauma, insecurity, body positivity, etc., when the reason I want to read these books is to escape reality in the first place. It definitely needed so much more to feel like a completely rounded ending. I understand the author has spin-offs but the book series itself shouldn’t end feeling so incomplete.
