Ugh. Well, might as well get this review over with.
I don't think I've ever dreaded writing a review like this before. I skipped the review of the second book because I just couldn't be bothered. I was so disappointed with this series. The idea was great. I didn't even mind the romance bits. What bothered me was the random acts of sex that come out of nowhere and the time jumps that occur in the oddest places. I think my biggest issue was their super special ritual involving all of the chalices. The 15 of them were up on stage in front of a big audience, then the 15 princes joined them and suddenly everyone was naked on stage, having sex. In front of everyone. Now, I understand that this is a different society where this is obviously acceptable, but really? I felt like I needed a shower after reading that. Then there was Mal up on the mountain enjoying the view and then suddenly Prince Edward comes along and they're all SEXY TIEMMSSSS~ and then she learns oh it wasn't really him, so it's all okay.
Don't even get me started on Garrick. I know that he's supposed to be the bad guy, even in the first book Garrick was the one everyone hated, but he's just a horrible character.
The ending was horrible. Incredibly anticlimactic.
This review doesn't even get any GIFs. It is not worthy.
