This one isn’t for me

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 | Review by: Kelly H.

I loved book 2 of the Hope and Glory series, “The Gilded Lady” so I began the book with enthusiasm. It waned at first when I discovered the opening scene to include a drowning dog, I was relieved at his safe rescue. I then realised our leading characters to be quintessential “star-crossed” lovers. Each doesn’t realise who the other is, a child of the “enemy”. Two feuding families are at the centre and sadly I didn’t realise this from the back cover. It is one of my least favourite tropes. Had I known, I would have skipped this one. Usually, I look to the writing when the plot doesn’t suit me but I struggled with that too in this one, I found “The Gilded Lady” scintillating but this felt more forced and winding than before. As such, I looked at other reviews for perspective and they too pointed out the slowness I of the action. A content warning too, a dog is killed in the book. All in all, this one isn’t for me, it’s a two out of five on the enJOYment scale.
