A review by pages_oflau
Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao

1.0

I started this book as a buddy read with Emma & Kasia.

My god what a boring book...I’ve just finished it and I feel like I want to rip my eyes out.
I just didn’t like it at all.
I didn’t like the names, the writing, the story...it was confusing and just dull.
The characters were boring and I didn’t feel any connection to them.
I hated the amount of abuse towards women.

I really struggled with this one and struggled to want to pick it up. And when I did pick it up I mostly skim read until the parts were people spoke because I just couldn’t stand the writing style.

The only good thing was the last 2 chapters which I enjoyed. The rest of it I hated.

At least the cover is pretty I guess 😊
