A review by charms1976
Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead
2.0
I haven't had a chance to really read much by this author. I admit to owning her books, but something has always come up and I haven't had a chance to read much by her. I received this book for review and after reading the back cover it seemed like a book that I would enjoy. Even if I haven't read the other books in the series, I though I might still have a chance at understanding the book and gain an interest in a new series.
While I tried over and over again to enjoy this book, I found myself struggling to finish it. I didn't care for the character of Eugenie. She fell flat and in a word I hate to use, well, shallow. She hindered the story from being so much more, even though she was suppose to be the main character. Her personality was immature and she was predictable after a few chapters into the book.
I was so frustrated with how the author had written this character that it might have hindered my feelings of enjoying the story. I just couldn't get past all the idiotic actions and reactions that Eugenie had. While the book was not a complete loss, but it also wasn't a success in my opinion. I think I am going to stick to her young adult themed books in the future.
