A review by sahcloudy
Osiris by E. J. Swift
1.0
Started out with promise. DNF'd. Turned to literal shit, with the actual interesting parts of the plot being drowned by all the fucking love interests.
Adelaide is not a loveable or even admirable character. She's a very easy character to hate, which is not okay considering you, as the reader, are supposed to root for her.
Vikram's personality fizzled out. From cool Mr Rebel Leader to some distant, bland love interest.
The pacing was beyond slow, like, half the shit that happened and was described did fuck all to move the story in any direction aside from down - deeper into a cesspool of filler. Nearing the end, the chapters and sentences themselves lost meaning. So many obscure metaphors, not enough cohesive thought processes. Just words minced together through some random generator.
Oh god, this book pissed me off.
