A review by bookedwithholls
Prince of Darkness by Amber Thoma
3.0
I received this book as an ARC and will provide an honest review. I want to start with the positives!
1. I loved have basically four main characters to follow on their mate journeys.
2. I loved the amount of banter and humor involved in the storylines.
3. I can see the vision for what the author was going for and the growth potential for book twos plot!
4. I’m not a fan of Insta love so I was glad at least one of the main couples waited it out a little bit and had some angst.
5. I found it so interesting how many characters in this book were different colors that is new for me. Blue giant, big bird, green nymph.
I think about in the middle of the book I was able to pinpoint my biggest issue was with the formatting of the book.
1. The chapters seems to be stopped and started at random.
2. The POV even though it was Third person seemed to jump around a lot which gave bumpy flow to the writing.
3. There seemed to be no consistency on if the writing was going to be old proper English or modern American English.
4. The biggest thing that bothered me was the time jumps from chapter to chapter the author/story would go back in time. For example one chapter ended with Ciaran knocking on the door and the next chapter started about 15 minutes prior him still running through the woods. This is what impacted me most when reading as it took you out of the story and having to reread to understand why we just went back on the timeline.
Overall it was a good debut novel!
