When picking up this series, I didn’t realise how quickly it would become my first DNF series of the year!

Honestly, I’m still not quite sure what the purpose of this one was – but I only made it through the first 3 out of the 7 books.

All of these books ranged from 30-40 pages, so were fairly quick reads and each following a different premise.

Book 1.

With all of these books on Kindle Unlimited, they’re all super accessible and are also super cheap, if you did happen to want to spend the money on them if you don’t have KU. The first one was The Garden by Tomi Champion-Adeyemi.

This basically followed the idea of a young woman’s journey to unfold secrets of her mother from fifteen years ago. She travels to Brazil, is greeted by a tour guide, and is basically taken on a road trip to where her mother’s last known place was.

In all honesty, I’m still confused.

⭐️⭐️

Book 2.

Persephone was a freaking weird one by Lev Grossman. Basically about a kid who’s Dad went missing five years ago with no explanation (seeing a theme here?) , and then one minute she’s in class all chilled, then next second she unleashes this hidden power she has no idea that she had. Still, once again, confused.

⭐️

Book 3.

The Six Deaths of The Saint by Alix E. Harrow actually had a mild potential, but in all honesty it was confusion from the first chapter. The idea is that we’re following a servant girl, wanting to become the kingdom’s greatest warrior, but all of her victories keep surmounting to the Prince becoming King, and so on and so forth – almost like he’s getting promoted and praise for all she’s doing.

Its noted in Amazon as a dark fantasy, but I think I just struggled to follow any sort of timeline, even if it was only 29 pages long.

All in all, I won’t be revisiting this series, especially after it managed to put me into one hell of a reading slump already!

I’m finally reading some good books though to get out of the slump and working my way through Onyx Storm, like every other woman and her dog!

I hope your January was a wonderful and relaxed one.

Here’s to better books in February!
