A review by spacebuns
Die sieben Schwestern by Lucinda Riley
2.0
As this book was recommended to me, by a person whose taste I usually share, I really really tried to like this book. But honestly 50%-60% of this book could’ve been deleted.
Pointless descriptions, stilted dialogues and only tell no show. Everyone had to explain why they were doing or saying what they were.
Not a single character was written in a way that made them believable. Most of the time they felt paper thin and I can’t even remember what most of them were supposed to look like, just minutes after finishing this book???
Idk why I tortured myself through this book??
Giving it 2 Stars, only because there are definitely worse things to read and I was so interested in the premise of sisters finding out about their adoption and the mysteries of their life and travelling the world. Why couldn’t a better author have come up with this??
About halfway through I was even tempted to give the 2nd book a chance, in case the writing might get better.
But at about the last quarter every hope was gone. I was able to skip several (!) pages without missing a single important point.
