A Ruinous Fate by Kaylie Smith

You have a gorgeous map and a good potential for WB, to only waste it on a lackluster romance that was drier than hardtack.
Characters: Everyone was a trope, sadly, the only POC was comedic relief which is yikes. Descriptions of people were barely done so hard to imagine everyone. So I just put a stereotypical goth with different hair colors because that was the only way I can imagine them.
Pacing is fast.
Prose is OK.
Plot: Predictable
Worldbuilding not original but could had the potential for a female DnD group and did absolutely nothing with.
Thankfully didn't buy the sequel (shame cause it seemed more interesting than this book.)
Really disappointed, could have been a good debut.
1.5/5
