Reviews for "A Deep Dive into Rhen's Character in A Curse So Dark and Lonely"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" series. The first book started off promising, with an interesting take on the Beauty and the Beast story. However, as the story progressed, I found myself losing interest in the characters and the plot. The world-building felt shallow and the romance was forced. I struggled to connect with the main characters and found their actions and decisions frustrating. Overall, I was hoping for a captivating fantasy series, but this one fell short for me.
2. Mark - 2 stars - I have to say, I was not a fan of the "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" series. The concept of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast intrigued me, but the execution was lackluster. The writing style was average at best, and the pacing felt off. The characters lacked depth, and I couldn't bring myself to care about their struggles. The love triangle felt unnecessary and only added to my frustration. Unfortunately, this series didn't live up to the hype for me.
3. Sarah - 3 stars - While I didn't hate the "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" series, I also didn't love it. The first book started off well, with an intriguing premise, but the plot became predictable and the twists lacked surprise. The characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to fully invest in their stories. The romantic aspect felt forced and lacked chemistry. Overall, it was an average fantasy series that didn't stand out from others in the genre.
