#i doubt there’s even a ghostwriter cause a ghostwriter wouldn’t make the characters speak like it’s 2010 when it’s a high fantasy novel

i really enjoy reading the from blood and ash books but they’re just objectively not good but they COULD be if the author either took more time or had a better editor cause like ??? the world building and dialogue and pacing are all really quite shit for such an experienced author

#like i could ignore it for the first two books #but it was so much worse in book 3 #you can tell they are absolutely rushed #i doubt there’s even a ghostwriter cause a ghostwriter wouldn’t make the characters speak like it’s 2010 when it’s a high fantasy novel #like when casteel says true or same #as a full sentence #or starts a sentence with literally #or when he says damn straight or what the actual fuck #omg and the blood queens dialogue was SO BAD #she didn’t sound regal at all she sounded like a millennial #it’s a high fantasy with barely any electricity and they don’t even have cars or engines yet #so WHY would they talk like that #casteel said ‘touché’ HOW WOULD HE KNOW A FRENCH WORD #why would you write a high fantasy but then have the characters speak like they’re in your other romance books from the 2010s???? #mine #and the info dumps are so bad they’ve gotten worse #book 2 was so much better #i don’t mind the slow pacing #cause i like the quiet moments between action #but this was just ridiculous #BUT i still did fly thru it #cause they’re very easy reads #also this is purely subjective but the smut was subpar except for like #the shower and the beach #fbaa #tcogb #tcogb spoilers #akofaf #natasha reads
