Venom

Yeah, I am not kidding. I finished a book. This is not a drill. I read my first book this year and it's the end of February.
God of literature please forgive me for I have sinned.

Now let's talk VENOM:

It was okay. Definitely not as bad as I make it look like. (Taking months for finishing it. Oops.) The story is fine. And it has various unique aspects but Bex writing just didn't do it for me.
It worked in the first novel, but nowadays I just need a bit more. This very simple prose is just not for me anymore.
I really want to care for these people but I just couldn't.
I didn't care for anything that was happening even though the premise was so good.
Partially because our protagonist Marianne was getting less and less sympathetic. And I get the reasons why she was written that way, but I know that it could have been achieved differently as well.
This works as a quick summer read. But I wouldn't prioritize it any time soon if I were you.

I was really close to DNFing it, but what can I say: I am a completionist.

I probably won't read the last part of the triology but I'll keep checking out Bex' work. I mean this is her debut series. And if she improves the way she tells stories - count me in.
