A review by bloodmaarked
Lightbringer by Claire Legrand
Did not finish book.
come talk books with me over at my twitter!
i tried, i really tried, but this was a chore to get through and i had to call it quits around the 50% mark. i'm actually surprised i got as far as i did, because i told myself i was gonna DNF this so many times that i lost count.
every character sucks and is either unlikeable or boring. i truly had enough of rielle, who i just found pathetic in the way that she constantly fawns over corien and does nothing but cause death and destruction (entirely of her own free will, might i add). trust me, i like a morally grey main character but this was too much, and i really could not stand her. eliana does nothing but get abused by corien and it's boring. audric is boring. ludivine is boring. simon is boring. tal is boring. jessamyn is so boring. navi is... maybe not boring, but definitely forgettable. and yet, all of these people are given their own POV chapters. the pacing was slow as hell. i felt like i might just skip to the last few chapters and see how the series ends, but, honestly, i actually don't care enough to. what a disappointment of a series after how promising furyborn seemed to be.
