A review by magnafeana
Knight's Bride by Juliette Caruso
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
This has been <b>dropped</b>.
Why?
This was a blind buy. I didn’t read the description. But reading the book was an experience and yep the description matches the contents.
Which is not made for me.
I was honestly fine that the FMC was privileged and spoiled in thinking about “How DARE this man not immediately and only loved me, even if this is an arranged marriage and literally many others have this happen to them, I will RUN AWAY for I am UPSET 😠😤”. Because I’d hoped that the FMC would understand the weight of her actions.
She’d learn that she truly was being privileged and spoiled. She could have caused her husband to be arrested or a war to break out. She would have worried her family and put innocents in danger. And from this, she would grow into understanding her silly temper tantrum was a silly temper tantrum. And she would also realize she put unrealistic expectations on someone she never knew.
But…that didn’t happen.
The MMC just takes the blame for everything. Obviously, he should have only been pure for her. Obviously, he should read minds. He should cater to her. He should always initiate XYZ. The world should cater to the FMC, really. How DARE others not find her pretty and desirable?
I’m fine with an FMC having unlikable qualities because it makes their progress interesting. But in this case, the FMC didn’t really grow. She half-heartedly learned, maybe. That’s a bit disappointing. She had such cool flaws to be touched on.
No rating as I dropped it.
