Fate & Furies (The Legends of Thezmarr, #3)

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.

I wasn’t obsessed with book 2 either. This one starts similarly but by the enddddddddd. Much better in my humble opinion.

Thank you for your opinion ❤️

oh no :( sorry this didn’t end up well
Oh Jesus that is not a good rating 😂 can’t wait to see this review. Sorry you didn’t like this one babe!!!💗
Such a good and honest review 🫶🫶hopefully your next fantasy read is more magical ✨
Sorry this series was a miss for you! The lack of emotional connection in the romance and the book trying to cover it up with smut sucks… I hope your next read is better❤️
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this, a lack of emotional connection is never a good thing. It’s hard to believe in a love story if you can’t feel what connects the couple 🥲 hope your next read is better bb 💕

Now that the review is up , I don't think it would be any mystery based on my thoughts lmao. Thank you my love 🌷💘💕

Thanks for this review. I just finished book 1 and really enjoyed it but after reading the reviews of books 2 and 3, and think I'll move one. My TBR pile is too long and my dedicated reading time is very limited.
Oh no, I felt the same way about the second book and was hoping that we’d get more emotional development in this one, fingers crossed I like it better
I feel the exact same. I am struggling to finish this book and I absolutely loved the first one.

Isabella wrote: "I feel the exact same. I am struggling to finish this book and I absolutely loved the first one."I'm debating on whether I want to read the 4th one or not. I hope this one improves for you. 💘
I thought I was the only one who felt this way, given the great ratings! The last part of this book was great but everything else just felt like filler. And I found myself loving the relationship between Thea, Cal, and Kip to be more interesting than with Wilder, which is not a good thing.

I don't even care about the two of them as a couple lol. Sorry to hear you had a similar experience though.
