Romance Renegades

Posted: a day ago
#21

I can't write a detail review like you par this could've been a better read🫠

Honestly, as Hades and Persephone retelling I was expecting mytho stuff par after the realization ki yeh kuch khaas retelling nahi hai, I expected some fantasy quests par aisa kuch tha nahismiley36

Kaafi predictable plot for a romantasy book, itne slow burn aur tension ke baad jaisa follow up I would've liked waisa mila nahi, Sometimes it felt ki the scenes are just placed kyunki first half mein kuch khaas tha nahismiley39

Wren ko toh mujhe maarne ka man ho raha tha beech beech mein, her relationship with her sister, again predictable and with FK/NW/B (Itne naam kyun agar koi backatory explore mahi ki jaa rahi hai?smiley36) overall confusing except for some good scenessmiley36

Overall, the characters had potential par I found the plot underdeveloped, fantasy part toh naam matra tha🥹

I don't think I would be completing this series any sooner, kyunki this had to be one of those handful books jinko khatam karne mein mera reading mood bhi khatam hone lagasmiley39

I agree smiley36 they didn’t develop the fanstay world nor the mythological bg of NW , Wren ki usual poor orphan girl story pe hi khafi dhyaan diya , initially I gave author benefit of doubt thinking ki maybe she wants to explore it in later books ( but now that I’ve completed the whole book mujhe waise kuch khas suspense build up kiya hua laga nahi smiley36) Nothing to make me excited about the next book smiley39

Wren was annoying at times agreed, especially whenever Wren -Elora drama came up I found myself getting annoyed by both of them smiley39



Tbh I didn’t like the ending of this book at all , felt like I read one of those generic wattpad book’s epilogue smiley39smiley37 (IT GAVE ME NOTHING )

Itna looong story ke baad they just rushed everything in the end smiley39.

Yup, isme basic mortal x immortal wala conflict bhi nahi tha tbh smiley24 he just becomes mortal off page and they get their HEA , ek fleeting moment ek alava we don’t even see them contemplating what it means to fall for immoral/mortal partner .

The plot had potential but author didn’t explore it well.
