Magic of Lust by Auryn Hadley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.
I was honestly hoping for this book because even though I had issues with the first one, I see a great deal of potential in this universe.
Unfortunately, I DNF’d this book at 55% because the writing never improved. This could be because reading it started feeling tedious to me, but it was almost as if it got worse. To me, it reads as if it’s a Wattpad story. Stories where people are posting their work, and because of their lack of experience, end up giving too much detail or explanations where it isn’t needed. There was also an extreme usage of a certain unsavoury word and though I understand why that is, it started getting very irritating. All I could think of was how I wish there were at least more synonyms. After I got halfway through the book I just couldn’t take it anymore because I found myself dreading the next page.
Honestly, I can see people enjoying this book, especially because I actually find the story incredibly unique, it just wasn’t for me.
