A review by postitsandpens
Broken Crowns by Lauren DeStefano

2.0

Disclaimer: I read the previous two books in this series over five years ago. As such, I didn't remember much in terms of details when I finally picked up book three. I'm not sure if that necessarily affected my enjoyment or not, as my feelings for this book were much in line with the previous two, but I wanted to put this as an fyi all the same.

There's something about Lauren DeStefano's writing that just does not pull me in completely. I never truly feel much of anything for the characters, and am never invested in the story. And yet, this book was engaging. (It's a weird dilemma, I know.) The readability factor is why I've given it that second star. It's not a bad story, it just could've been done better. Mostly I'm just happy to cross another series off my TBR, and to formally state that this author is not for me.
