Review Detail of Lesly_MocKa in Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Rarely get so annoyed by a book, but only pure will got me through it. It has a nice start but it eventually felt like all the chapters I read where for nothing. Everything goes wrong, and the FL couldn't be more... "unlucky ", "pitiful", amd overall all bad things that could happen to her... End up happening to her, you really can't help but feel annoyed by it. While the ML makes you feel sorry for him, he has to go through so much, just to be with a shallow, immature and abussive partner, really makes you question if it's really love or they're just being stubborn for the sake of it. The whole book is a mess, filled with unfinished plotlines, half built, immature characters, massive plot holes, unfinished and lazy written explanations,etc. Felt like I was missing some vital info throughout the whole book, if I was missing something or needed to read another whole book to understand some of the characters backgrounds which was really annoying, not even sure if this is a series or a stand-alone because some characters which we only saw once were giving too many details on, which made the book give that unfinished feel to it. Basically, the whole book is just a story that did not end up happening, a whole flashback, where only the last 50 or so chapters matter, if you even make it that far. There is no redemption, no closure, not a real ending or beginning, a lot of not important things are explained, while some vital ones were not, some plots. were just dropped into the story without warning, only for you to feel angst for one chapter, before that whole plot is scrapped and were supposed to be ok with it and move on like they did not happen. I'm a fan of weak to strong, rebirth, mistery and a lot of things that the book has, but while you're reading it, you can only wish the author stuck to one and make a decent story out of it. I'm aware this is an old book, and maybe one of their first attempts at writing, which made me give it a shot and finish it all but, it was too much of a hasle for the little reward we got with the later chapters. Might browse the other books the author has, just to check if I can find the missing pieces from this book, some other reviews state that the author improved from this once so it might be worth a shot as overall the book had so much potential but be a real masterpiece.
