Pride

Book 10 complete for O.W.L.'s 2019 Ancient Runes- Retelling

Pros:
- I went into this with limited expectations and limited knowledge about the book and I was pleasantly surprised. This book was excellent, I immediately fell in love with the characters and connected with their stories. I want to see how Darius and Zuri came together and I wanted to see how they handled their “differences”
- This is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice but it was subtle, other than the first line which is almost identical to how Pride and Prejudice opens. But I appreciated that while it was a retelling it is a loose one and it still it's own story. Zuri and Darius were their own characters and they had their own story to tell.
- I also loved getting to see Zuri's poems and spoken word throughout the story. It made her writing more real and added an extra touch to the story.

Cons:
- I feel like this book was rushed and could have been longer. It was under 300 pages and while I was able to read it in a single day, I wish there was more. I feel like there could have been more events we got to see or more explanation of certain things. I just wanted more.
