The Throne of Broken Gods by Amber V. Nicole
Did not finish book.
2.0
So I slogged and slogged to around 55% waiting for the story to get going in this ridiculously and unnecessarily long book, but ultimately had to DNF when the main character flipped a switch from the embodiment of female rage and grief to a giggling schoolgirl within one heartbeat to the next.
Diana is hurting at the start of this story, quite understandably. She’s much worse and more stabby than even the morally grey MC we met in book one. Wouldn’t it have been better for her to slowly heal in those 400-500 pages I pushed through instead of the repetitiveness we had instead followed by an immediately switch up? It would have made it much more realistic then when she eventually softened towards everyone.
What’s annoying is that this series has some interesting world building elements and some really good action and magic scenes. What lets it down for me is the pacing due to the length, the romance is lacking for me and the characterisation of these apparently centuries-old beings is too juvenile.
I think I’m done with this series.
