A review by storydarling
The High Mountain Court by A.K. Mulford
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
I am not a fan of insta-lust/insta-love and this book definitely has that. And their bickering was not cute and showing them falling in love; it just felt like bickering for bickering’s sake because enemies to lovers is so popular right now.
What ultimately had me drop it though was the reiteration of things that had happened only like 5% before. It was weird. Like when an author adds helpful summations of what happened in the previous book. But in this case, it was only a couple of chapters before. Readers do not need a rehash of something that just happened. It makes me feel like maybe this book was written as a serial? I don’t know. After the 2nd such rehash, I was done. I wasn’t invested anyways and this just got on my nerves. So DNF.
