House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein
1.0
The first book was intriguing enough. I liked all of the side characters and the storyline.
This book however, was not for me. I could not connect with Fallon at all, her personality annoyed me the whole book.
At first she was annoyed she was "locked up" and didn't leave her room, it was like she was throwing a tempertantrum... Then she kept saying she wanted to be free and wanting to get away from the sky kingdom, even though everyone says it better and safer there for her.
But she finally goes to fae lands again, and everyone is pissed she's there and wants her to go back to the sky kingdom, but she just ignores everyone. She claims to have a "plan" as to why she left, but literally no one tells her anything so she makes half assed plans in her head that don't pan out.
Everyone is hiding stuff from her, no one trusts her with the truth because she is basically a child whining the whole book.
I mean literally what is her point in the story other than she's the only one who can save the crows?? That in itself does not make a character.
