Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
3.5
if i had to describe this book, like what's it about, i genuinely couldn't π
it has so much shit in it that if u've seen this book around, u just need to read it to actually decide whether u like it or not. not listen to other's opinion. also, i don't think this book is for everyone either. it's hard to explain why tbh. i liked it, but if u said u hated it, i'd completely understand why, yk what i mean? π
anyway, let's get into things i liked and disliked.
β β β β β β β β β
first of all, the cover??? YES. we stan it. the city in it looks gothic af & i love all things gothic :)))
next, i loved Serefin. he's extremely funny, even when he's confused about shit that's going on behind his back. the amount of times i smiled & laughed while reading his chapters π i also liked Ostyia, Kacper, Parijahan & Rashid as crew members bc without them Serefin & Nadya both would be dead meat lol. the way they did their best to protect them both is remarkable.
the plot was utterly unique, i don't think i've ever read anything like this before. i couldn't explain it even if i wanted to, so i'm not gonna even try, but i liked it. although some things, in my opinion, happened wayyy too easily for my dramatic ass' liking lol.
also i loved reading those lil paragraphs above the chapters that gave the back story of the previous saints that lived long ago. i appreciate authors that do it!!

now things i disliked.
the names. oh my god. it's so hard to pronounce?? it really does put me off when names are hard to pronounce. also there were polish sentences which weren't translated. one time, i tried translating it. the google translator done me dirty, showing me translation that doesn't even make sense lol, next time i didn't even bother. pls, give translation if u're using languages that aren't english in ur books.
next, Nadya. at times she was way too naive & cringey. girl, just pack it in, ur fucking country is in need of ur help.
the plot, although likable, didn't live up to be my fav or four diamond read.
β β β β β β β β β
however, i'll continue w the series & hopefully it gets better. after all, i'm really intrigued by where the story will end up going.
i do recommend reading this to those who enjoy fantasy & i wouldn't encourage u to listen to other's reviews, u need to read it urself to know whether it's the one u like or dislike! xx
