#BookReview #Spoilers This book was pretty painful at times. Lou and Reid are both dumb as a box of rocks and honestly I wanted to beat them both upside the head with a sock like Homey da Clown. However there were a few bright spots: Coco continues to be one of the few characters I enjoy (she certainly has more sense than Lou, kissing Ansel aside), some more interesting characters were introduced including those in the Troupe de Fortune, the big reveal of Claude as the Elderking has me interested enough to read the conclusion of the trilogy. That book is 17 hours long so I'll probably have to listen to it at 1.5x speed to get through it just like Blood & Honey. Lou's "Elsa moment" had me rolling my eyes a bit and the cliffhanger was meh. But I do kind of admire how Mahurin never let's the characters do things the easy way. Things are ALWAYS gonna go wrong and with Lou and Reid that's pretty true to their characters 2.75/5 #BloodAndHoney #dumbcharacters #TwistGaveMeJustEnoughHopeToPushThruToBook3 #ClaudeAndCocoAreMyFaves #IStillMaintainTheFrenchAreTheWorst #MRDRC22 #Doorstopper #500PlusPagesByAWoman #Nerdymamabooks #BlackGirlsReadBooksToo #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CZowgs1Lino/?utm_medium=tumblr
