A review by meripm
The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
3.0
Disappointingly average. Mead's legendary chemistry is not present here, it all felt so forced and unnatural. It is nice for a change to see an author leave its usual genre, but it did not work with this book.
Adelaide, the main character, is whimsical and stupid. She evolves, but it seemed forced to me. I didn't specially like any of the other characters either. They're not bad but... just meh.
The plot and the outcome were somehow predictable too, which definately did not make up for the characters.
On top of that, it all felt so frivolous. The struggles are nowhere near the reader, making me unable to connect with the characters.
It was well written and entertaining, but certainly not what I expected of one of my favourite writers.
