Review Detail of slowestcook in The Princess and The Wolf Prince

I just finished reading this story. While I enjoyed the first half, I really did not enjoy the second half. Do not read this story if you like a happy ending. This is a story about revenge far more than it is about romance. I kept reading thinking/hoping the story would recover, but I ended up disappointed. The first half had very fun characters with engaging dialogue. I especially loved the way the three brothers interacted with our FL. In general, I liked the way all the characters interacted, even in the more antagonistic relationships. I feel like there was some mystery set up, and I was looking forward to learning more. I had a hard time putting the story down and looked forward to when I could get back to reading. If you want to end on a happier note, either stop at the end of chapter 36, or halfway through chapter 66. Then read the very last chapter (maybe last two chapters). As the story progressed, it became dark and gritty. Like I said, this is more about revenge. I found the characters’ sense of justice frustrating and extremely hypocritical, and that was hard to look past. Some of the characters I liked completely changed, and in my opinion, became worse than the monsters they claimed to be targeting. Also, although it isn’t described in detail, this book contains rape, and that point is completely ignored in my opinion. At the end of this book, there is no justice, and that is very unsatisfying, especially when it feels like the real monsters in the story have the “happy” ending. If you like a story about good people spiraling downward and descending into despair and darkness, then read it. If you want to feel happy and uplifted at the end of the story, then don’t. As for the writing, there were definitely a lot of pronoun errors, and a few times wrong words were used, but to be honest that didn’t detract from the reading for me. The chapters were lengthy, and I always like that. The story was well paced. Also, you only have the story from one POV at a time, and I think that really works well for this story. All in all, I still think it’s an accomplishment to finish a story, so congratulations to the author. It just wasn’t to my taste in the end, and I’ve tried to share why. I would still recommend the first part though.
