Huntress

I thought the book started out strong but I was very disappointed as it got closer to the end. It was a fun read with some interesting twists and turns and just the right amount of pacing but then it took a sharp turn; It felt like there were too many plotlines that they tried to create and wrap up in too few pages.

I also wish they had explored the depth of the relationships between certain characters because for some of them, it felt like I was being forced to feel something that wasn't there and I had to make up their shared history in my own mind for it to connect.

I read this very mediocre book for the promise of lesbians but they don't even end up together because Taisin decides being a priest is more important to her. I don't get too broken up about bittersweet endings but this was the only thing the book had going for it and it just threw it out the window. Not to mention during the story Taisin was given every reason to change her mind about being a sage as she discovered they've been lying to her all along. But that plot thread isn't developed further and later completely ignored.
