Beyond the Ruby Veil by Mara Fitzgerald
3.0
Beyond the Ruby Veil was one of those books that I instantly wanted to dive into based on seeing the cover. Then I read the synopsis and I just knew it had to be amazing. Yet, after diving into the actual book... it was just okay for me.
Now don't get your panties in a twist or mad at me because I didn't downright love the book. Trust me, I wanted to love it. I wont lie, the book even had something interesting parts to it.. I just couldn't really connect with anyone or anything that was happening. Maybe it's because of the extreme vagueness throughout the book which I could understand. The reason why is because I figured I would everything might make more sense down the road in future books. So, yeah I can get behind the book being downright vague to my face.
Other than that, the characters were okay. The romance was just fine too. Maybe if I had a thing for slow burns I probably would've adored everything that was happening. I guess the main thing for me today is that I wanted to love this book. Overly adored the shit out of it. I just couldn't. It was just okay for me and I'm hoping that the next book will be a lot better. Or maybe get me out of this weird funk that I'm in...
