I’m not the biggest fantasy reader, mainly because it’s hard for me to digest the world-building, complex characters, well-thought-out plot, etc. It tends to be a bit overwhelming! “A Fate Inked in Blood” is genuinely one of the best easy-to-read fantasy romance novels I’ve read. I enjoyed Freya’s character and how her story ties in with the colorful cast. You can tell that the story was set up for a sequel, but regardless, I’ll be there to read it! The plot twists were great and overall, this is a great book to read if you’re trying to get into fantasy. also, can I just say I love Norse mythology? I think it was such a perfect aspect of the book....more
Thank you so much to Net Galley and Artia Books for giving me an ARC for this book in exchange for a review! I was excited to read this since this is Thank you so much to Net Galley and Artia Books for giving me an ARC for this book in exchange for a review! I was excited to read this since this is one of the first Rebecca Serle books I've read, but unfortunately, I wasn’t a big fan.
In my opinion, the execution of the story was lacking. I felt that some significant scenes were glossed over and not given enough attention. The writing style had a lot of unnecessary details about houses, white shirts, blue jeans, and smells. I was hoping for more character development, specifically for Daphne, Jake, Kendra, and Hugo. These characters have great potential, but their stories fall flat. The plot regarding Daphne's health could have been introduced earlier instead of revealing it much later on. Overall, I found it difficult to connect with the characters and the story.
The chapters jumping between Daphne's current relationship and her previous ones seemed unnecessary. I wished her relationship with Jake was more flushed out, but in the end, it felt a little rushed. At the climax of the story, there was an important moment and all the tension was gone because of an inside joke Jake had. It took away a lot of the build-up and seriousness of the situation and made it seem like it wasn't important.
This book had so much potential but unfortunately fell short with its execution. This disappointed me because I wanted to love this book so much more than I did....more
