Alright. I've had many issues with this series after book 1 and I had high hopes that book 3 would rectify some of them, but unfortunately for me it still just didn't work.
The positive note that I have is - the last 20% of this book was a great showcase of Thea - but I feel like it was too little too late.
I think the root of my issues all began in book 1- there's a lot of tension and build up to the FMC (Thea) and the MMC's (Wilder) relationship. In book 1 after all of the tension and tip toeing around there's an impulsive sudden sexual encounter, literally in the last 15-20ish%.
From there we jump into book two. I feel like the author never dives into the emotional connection between these two. Vows & Ruin is literally these two banging it out non stop, but I was personally left feeling lost as to why they feel this undying love for each other?
Because you just said so? Because the author told me so?
A huge part of why I love to read is the feeling I get, the emotions I experience. I can't get there if you just simply shove the two main characters bodies together and say 'they love each other so they fuck.' LOL. Wild.
Book 3 takes place a year after book two ends and I thought it was going rather well until it wasn't. Scheuerer managed to find a way to shove in more spice even while the two were separated.
Listen, I know I sound like I'm really just harping on the spice - and I LOVE SPICE. But not when there is SUPPOSED to be emotions there and I can't pick up on a single one of them. This is the author TELLING me but NOT SHOWING me.
Not only that, but this relationship gave me severe whiplash in this installment- more than I've experienced with them in the previous books.
There is too much that doesn't add up here with the story as a whole- I will just say that to avoid spoilers. Plot holes, let's just say plot holes.
Also, generally speaking - I feel like the story is getting dragged out at this point. I've lost interest, there is simply not enough lor, magic or battles going to for me to give a damn anymore.
Helen, this isn't Game of Thrones, there is not enough substance here to have pulled out 4 books. My interest in this story has actually declined with each page.
Highly doubt I'll read the last book - I already feel I can predict what will happen and I just don't care.

Thank you bby! 💖💖 I'm really hoping so too. Loved the first one, so maybe just second book syndrome

I'm at 22% so far and I think it started much better than the second one. Or maybe I just put that one so far out of my mind? Either way, having a good time now lol.
Thank you for your opinion ❤️

Thank you babes 💕 - I had a feeling this wasn't going to leave me satisfied but I tried anyway. Oh well, on to the next. 💜💜

LOL This is the series I was telling you about earlier lol. Now that the review is up , I don't think it would be any mystery based on my thoughts lmao. Thank you my love 🌷💘💕

Totally understandable. Unfortunate that you couldn't enjoy the entirety of the series.

I'm debating on whether I want to read the 4th one or not. I hope this one improves for you. 💘

I agree, I really appreciated the relationship with them over Wilder too. I don't feel like his character has been fleshed out well enough. I don't even care about the two of them as a couple lol. Sorry to hear you had a similar experience though.
