The Falconer

A rarity with me–I actually finished reading a one-star book. I did not like this one, but it held enough interest with me to finish it. I was going to rate it a two star book until the very end. I didn't care enough about the characters or the problems within the book to feel invested... then the author finished on a cliff hanger at the climax of the entire story. Instead of making me feel invested and interested, it immediately turned me off from the story, making me feel like I had just wasted all of my time for a point that would only come in the second book (and I'm assuming it would start off as slow as this book did).

The fae were the only thing interesting. The fact that the character was a lady in the Victorian London was incredibly boring. The MC literally knew the world was going to end and just... went dress shopping for her wedding, because she has to keep up appearances with 19th century social circles. Absolutely boring.

Not great. Interesting Fae mythology and things, but ultimately, not worth anyone's time.

Next.
