The Glittering Court

Can you even call this fantasy?
It feels more like a historical fiction wearing the mask of a fantasy to me.

The only reason why I gave this 2 stars is because the first half of the book is quite enjoyable to read, despite the whole story having very little believability. Unfortunately, the rest of the book is a jumbled mess. It doesn't help that the characters are bland, there is no chemistry between Adelaide and Cedric, and there's no tension in the story. As if that wasn't enough, we also get a veeery convenient deus ex machina at the end. Brilliant.

Not sure if I'll read the rest of the series. Maybe if the next one is engaging. Both Mira and Tamsin seem to be more interesting than Adelaide.
