Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
I longed for it to end.
I didn’t know a battle royale could be this boring. Nothing, NOTHING, has happened to develop de plot in 160 pages. There are so many characters and no exploration of their background for any of them, again in HALF THE BOOK. And yet you try to feed me a romance that I am obviously not buying because I don’t care for them nor who eats whose tit.
I had high expectations and now I’m pissed. Let me be.
