Kiss the Fae by Natalia Jaster
2.0
Not much happens in this book. Gunna throw that out there first and foremost.
This is basically a romance book set in the world of the fae. We kinds just watch Lark and Cerulean fall in love and sprinkle in conquering the mountain labyrinth while we're at it. Don't get me wrong, it's not a totally bad thing, it just wasn't for me.
I was bored for big chunks of this one. Waiting for Cerulean and Lark to stop being dumb and click all the pieces together about each other. Waiting for Lark to actually try and climb the mountain. Waiting for my brain to actually understand all of the ridiculous cryptic riddles that filled this book (spoiler alert, it never did. This book is pretty forking confusing).
I needed more. A lot more. More information about the world, the world building in this one fell really flat. More action in the book rather than short snippets here and there. More of an actual storyline. You trespassed, therefore, must climb this mountain isn't enough to fill a novel. Their history didn't cut it, even just for basic filler.
I also found the author's writing to be a bit much. It was excessive. Purposefully excessive, which made it worse. I found it to be convoluted, confusing, and frustrating at times. I had to reread certain passages more than once just to try to understand what the author was saying. The book didn't flow.
As characters, I enjoyed Lark and Cerulean. Their story was wonderful, and their banter adorable. But as a book? This story really let me down.
I'm going on to book 2, but only because I'm curious about Puck and Juniper. We'll see how far I make it.
