The Graces by Laure Eve
2.0
I rarely give books a rating so low but this book just didn't work for me. All I knew before starting it was that it's a story about witches and I was sold. However, it fell so flat. I kept waiting and waiting for the story to pick up but it didn't. I'm not saying this often about books and I always try to find something I like in books but it was boring. So boring.
I'm a stubborn person and that's why I refused to DNF it and I wanted to give a chance for the story to go somewhere interesting. It didn't. Where was the plot? I have no idea. It wasn't any I guess. The writing seemed too unnatural, it didn't flow well. It lacked in mystery and the big plot twist didn't seem like a twist at all. You can guess it since the start.
Many people like this book and it's a series but I'm not picking up the sequel. Maybe it's me or maybe it's the story, maybe both but I've read many better stories about witches. Stories with a better concept that feature characters with depth. This book just wasn't the one offering that to me. I now need a better witches story.
