Illusion by Nik Knight

2.0

What i wrote in this review previously got deleted to so i’ll try to summarize again.

First… i’m rating 2 stars purely out of pettiness. This book got on nerves i didn’t even know for be gotten on  and i could not enjoy this throughly enough to give it more than 2 stars…tho this may truly be a 3 or 3.5 star book at least.

Second, most of my problems layed with Riley. To put it simply, he’s a fucking crybaby who makes recklessly stupid decisions and deals with all of his problems by bursting into tears.

Absolutely shame to people with leaking taps in their eyes but in his instance, he rlly was no help.

Sobbing his eyes out wasnt gonna fix jackshit so it would’ve been much appreciated if he could actually spend some time thinking about solutions instead of getting snot on everyone’s shirts and making them come up with something themselves.

His moral compass also make me want to strangle him. Cannot express how much i detest main characters with some sort of hero complex that would go all around to world to avoid getting blood on their hands. Don’t think i’m saying he needed to flip a switch about start killing people without remorse, but the fact that he set himself back bc he didn’t want to cooperate with his “alter” bc they took control and killed Noel’s abuser when they were in a dire situation drives me insane. 

“i don’t want to become a murderer 🥺”

OH BOOO FUCKING HOO.

You’re telling me that you would let the fucker who hurt your person in most unthinkable ways live, because you just don’t want hurt anyone!?!! What type of bullshit-

He needs to get a rain check to understand that some people just deserve to die and it’s as simple as that. 

The book itself just gave me a headache.
