A review by valpyre
Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

funny lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

a light read, though i did find myself skimming parts. the whole thing was enjoyable enough, if juvenile. i wanted more out of the romance but it was a pretty chaste slow burn. even the plot moved fast, which made it easier to read, but it also felt very much like boxes were being checked instead of a natural development of the relationship. i liked a lot of the side characters, just wish we got more time with them instead of being given a wikipedia rundown of their pasts. i might check out the sequel if i need another head empty read.
