JE Mar'24 "Hyperbole city" [18]

 Crescent city by Sarah J. Maas

                                            
After a rocky start, I began to enjoy the story - but it does outstay its welcome (and gets more and more ridiculous). The style is pretty abysmal. Swearing does not improve writing. Nor does constant exaggeration and repeatedly describing people as beautiful predators. For me, its redeeming feature is the strong female friendship. The book evens out as 'mmm'.

Followed by House of Sky and Breath and House of Flame and Shadow





Warning: constant swearing, graphic sex, violence, drugs
