Star Eater by Kerstin Hall
2.0
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, so I'll admit right here and right now that I had no idea what I was walking into. Heck, once I saw that the audio was available I was freaking out with excitement. Mostly because I just really wanted to dive into Star Eater after reading the synopsis. Unfortunately, that was the best part out of the entire freaking book. Well, at least for me it was.
I'm definitely blaming myself for all the hyping up I did because this book was just one huge disappointment to me. Some thing were just really too gross and I'm so happy that I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I got to those scenes. Then there are parts that confused me so much that I just didn't know what was going on. I honestly had no idea who was good or bad for most of this book and I secretly wished I had the ebook or physical to read instead of listening to the audiobook.
If I did, I don't think my opinion on the book would have changed drastically but I think some of my confusion would never appear. Maybe. Again, not completely sure right now. Other than that, I thought the whole nuns who were kind of like black widows was a pretty interesting idea. It definitely had potential to be a great book. Unfortunately, it just had parts where absolutely nothing was happening and I felt like I was missing a lot of information. Whether it was the lack of world building or even the characters. I honestly had no idea who was who and just sat back and watched the chaos unfold.
Before I forget, there was also some romance but I didn't really care for it. I think it would have been fine with zero romance and a lot more action to keep me from zoning in and out of the book. I'm also pretty happy that this isn't a series because I just don't think I could handle another book. It would definitely confuse me even more.
