Order of Swans by Jude Deveraux
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
DNF at 30%
I don’t know where to start with this, because I don’t think I understood what was going on. The characters felt strange and came across as inconsistent. I don’t know what the plot was, because the writing was really disjointed; it was like a bunch of scenes put together to create a story, but there wasn’t a story being told (example for perspective: I went to work, walked into a kitchen, met someone, read a book, etc.). There was no world building beyond us being told what’s happening, zero showing was involved. The narration is bizarre, where it’s jumping around perspectives and none of the characters had any distinct voice to make this a reasonable approach. The only redeeming thing about this is the audiobook narrator, Alexandra Hunter. I’m putting this one down permanently. It’s not for me.
Thank you Harlequin Audio for the ARC via NetGalley.
