A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Did not finish book. Stopped at 73%.
Hey ya’ll, am I being too difficult? Where is the plot?
I'm struggling to understand the FMC who, despite been dealt the absolute worst cards in life, manages to persevere, and then is reduced to someone so whiny and temperamental the minute she's under the ward of a man. I get it, she absolutely deserves her freedom and shouldn't be forced to endure another type of imprisonment (emotional or physical), but please consider the circumstances! She’s arguably in a very dangerous place with people she does not know who possess powers beyond her imagination. I'm sorry but I tired quickly of her complaining about being locked in her room all the time. You're a mortal in a world of gods! I'm not saying the main character should have no personality and submit to the man, but have some logic, some critical thinking skills. She's an amazing fighter with a wit and grit, why does that just disappear sometimes!? Maybe I am being a hater, but I don't care to finish this series.
In other words, locking the headstrong girl in her bedroom for her own safety should not be part of the plot for any book.
