Curate, connect, and discover
I’m so conflicted. Book 2 comes out pretty soon and I don’t know if I want to get it or not.
Here’s the thing, I read the original trilogy when they were wattpad book and the third one was still being released.
I loved them, and have read them several times. The world and the characters just felt so immersive and the story line was so good! Yes there were parts that maybe needed a bit of editing, like grammar and just redundant sentences and stuff, but it was good!
When it was announced that it would become real published books I was so excited. I thought it would be the books just polished, you know? I pre ordered the paperback and couldn’t wait to dive back into this world.
It was like I wasn’t even reading the same story. It felt flat, drawn out and like nothing really happened in the whole book. And apparently it’s going to be a whole long series now instead of a trilogy which it was originally.
I found it hard to care about any of the characters, it was like all the life was gone from them. I just felt so disappointed. And I was honestly kind of bored the whole time. I think I might have enjoyed it more if I’d never read the originals, but alas.
I’m hoping the second book will be better, that I will like it more, but I don’t know. I’m so conflicted!
Anyone else have the same experience? Did you read the original wattpad series? What are your thoughts on the new version?
