Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw

1.0

This book reads like a wattpad fanfiction written by a middle schooler. It made Sally to be an annoying and insufferable main character, who is so different and is ~just a ragdoll there’s simply ~no way she could be a queen!! Like oh my god shut up!

This book tries so hard to have romantic and poetic prose, but it’s just so bad. It’s so “I'm 12 years old and this is deep.” The random italicized words for emphasis were painful to read. Everything is so repetitive—I rolled my eyes every time she reminded us she’s a ragdoll and a queen. Wow thanks! I had no idea!

It’s so annoying reading through an entire chapter, and then a couple of sentences later it just states the obvious. Like yes I understood that thing, I JUST READ IT. I can’t even call this a middle grade novel because middle grade books are so much better. I wasted 5 days of my life reading this.
