The Great Hunt
3 Wine Glasses
After reading the Sweet trilogy, Higgins has easily become
an author that I look forward to reading! When I found out that she would be
coming out with a new duology, I flipped.
Plus, after reading the premise I was more then intrigued.
And I was intrigued, for most of this book I was seriously invested, but by the
time I finished it I realized I didn’t actually love this book. I really think
the way it ended wasn’t satisfactory for me. I know there is going to be a
second book, but this ending kind of killed me. By the time I put it down I was
like, “ this is one of those books that you read in one sitting, finish it, and
wonder why you read it in one siting.” I know all of this sounds really
negative, but this book honestly wasn’t bad, I’m just a bit unsatisfied with
the ending.
Now, Higgins is a romance junkie, so when I picked this book
up I was expecting so many moments…. there isn’t, people. Yeah, I swooned for
some of it, but it wasn’t the Higgins I was expecting. However, considering the
book and its storyline I really shouldn’t be that shocked. This is a hunt, with
beasts, men who can’t keep their opinions to themselves, and a family full of
moxie. So, the romance really isn’t an important part of this book, but with
good reason. This all being said, I don’t think the lack of romance takes away
from the book. I do wish there was a bit more, but I like the call she made.
The character development was one of the few things that was
done well for some characters and eh for other characters. I did like most of
the characters, but some of their relationships weren’t developed enough. It
felt slightly rushed in a way. When I finished I realized I was so invested in
finding out the ending that the development didn’t quite match up. People were
at places in their relationship that didn’t make sense to me.
Overall, this book is one that I would tell people to wait
for the second one if they want to read it. It’s good, but I feel this should
have been made into one large standalone.
Stay Drunk…on Books,
