A review by talya_
The Secret Fire by C.J. Daugherty
Did not finish book.
Wow. Before reading, I honestly thought this book might be good.
It wasn't.
The writing was unbearably simple and entirely dull. I'm a firm believer that fantasy books should be well written and have exceptional world building. This book has neither. As if that isn't bad enough, we have the two most cliche main characters ever. Our female MC is your typical goody-goody perfect student who's obsessed with her grades. She also happens to he incredibly pretty, though she doesn't think so, and has crazy curly hair that she dislikes because apparently blondes are only supposed to have straight hair. Really?
The male MC is dull and "dangerous" and his personality seems to flip around like the author couldn't make up her mind. I honestly can't even bear to go on anymore. DNF.
