Levie's Reviews > Rebellious Desire

This book is a big fat no for me. I don't know if it's because I am a modern woman reading about the past, but nothing about this book worked.

It is a great example of wtf just happened. It was about everyone's fall from grace. The heroine was very cool and then became pathetic. She was so pathetic that it made me quit the book. When you receive death threats and have lived through two attempts on your life, it's probably a good time to stop being pathetic and reprioritize. But not in this book! The hero was a major asshole with no redemption arc. He actually gets worse, and he had no reason I deemed justifiable for his behavior.

This book is a fantastic example of the cycle of mental and emotional abuse. You will be frustrated, angry and get no satisfaction. Just like in real life! Is that the moral of the story? A warning? Personally, I hope so.
