** spoiler alert **
Another series I'm so glad is over 😂😂😂 it started off quite good even if the characters were cringe and kinda annoying. But the last two books were an absolute snoozefest.
By the last two books I was so fed up of Cora's incessant internal and external monologue rehashing the same quandaries over and over again. I just wanted her to shut up. Lengthening books by going over the same issues you need to overcome is not good storytelling it just stagnates a books and makes it really tedious.
I finally got interested around 60% in when Simon was gonna double cross Cora and I thought she's gonna die at the hands of the man she loves, brilliant. Only it's a double double cross and nothing interesting actually happens. I should have known.
I don't know anything about the author but it reads like a middle aged woman who finds herself incredibly funny and then writes that humour into the books All. The. Damn. Time. If I had a £ for every time she wrote Man Eating Murder Circus, I'd be a wealthy girl. And some of the curses that are used are so badly cringe it's just like "please stop writing this way". Anyway I skimmed a lot of this book I just couldn't be bothered with it. I think it could have been a good 2 maybe 3 books series but 5 was just way too much.
