Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This book got really tired very quickly. The plot barely moved forward and the romance didn't progress at all. They always kept their distance, got closer and got distant again. Over and over and over throughout the whole book. After the first few of these cycles, anticipation turned to annoyance really quickly, because it was obvious it was just going to repeat again. And it did. 

Them doing this dance around each other took up most of the book, so the plot didn't even have a chance to properly develop. 

I really hope the third book will be better, because this one was just a chore to read.
