Review: Never-Contented Things by Sarah Porter

 

Well…..I’m not really sure what to say!  I always hate myself when I don’t like a book but I have to try and remember that the same book isn’t for everyone!

Anyway, here goes…..

Seductive. Cruel. Bored
Be wary of…

Prince and his fairy courtiers are staggeringly beautiful, unrelentingly cruel, and exhausted by the tedium of the centuries―until they meet foster-siblings Josh and Ksenia. Drawn in by their vivid emotions, undying love for each other, and passion for life, Prince will stop at nothing to possess them.

First seduced and then entrapped by the fairies, Josh and Ksenia learn that the fairies’ otherworldly gifts come at a terrible price―and they must risk everything in order to reclaim their freedom.

Well that was weird. I’m still trying to work out if it was good weird or just too out there weird!

 

Let’s start with the good stuff!

 

I loved how everyone who met Josh loved him, I actually liked how unique this story was, I liked the fact it had non traditional characters and I loved Lexi, in fact she saved this book for me!

 

But.

 

The writing made me confused in places, how can I describe this? It was flowery and too over the top for my tastes. It also didnt contain the fae impact I thought it would have, and I wanted that. Plus I didn’t really gel with Ksenia, I don’t know why, I just didn’t like her!

  1. I totally get how you feel! I read this a few weeks ago and it was… weird. A blend of gritty and fantasy that somehow didn’t quite work. Not for me!

    Okay, I had this question the entire time I was reading the book! Was it weird in a good way, or just not my thing?! And I agree, Lexi saved the book for me 😉
