A review by gypsydawn
Unraveling Destiny by Amelia Hutchins
3.0
After the epic build up of the previous 4 books, I had such high hopes for this one. Yet, unfortunatly, I ended up putting this book down after only a few chapter, seeking something else on my Kindle instead. I may return to it at another date (and update this review then) but for now, it is on the back burner.
It reads like there should be another book in-between this one and the last one in the series - plots are solved with no explanation, new relationships and allies are present with little intro and new layers are added seemingly with the expectation that you already know why those subplots are there. Hint - you don't. We ended book 4 with Ristan (the demon) holding Olivia, the Librarian, in his room for a betrayal so deep it rocked the entire Fae world (Yes, they are not the main characters, but their subplot if on point and very crucial) - then enter Book 5 with that entire situation resolved and her suddenly the love of his life? What the hell happened? Was there a 4.5 book I missed? If so, I can't find it. This is just one example of the massive flux and shift in narrative - there are several others, and each is just as baffling as the last.
Like I said, I may return to this at a later date for closure... but, eh.
