A review by sinnybuns
Wed to the Gargoyle by Eden Ember
Did not finish book. Stopped at 64%.
I swear the book wasn’t edited. The writing was incredibly difficult to navigate because the sentences were doubled in parts, scenes rewritten without the original scene being deleted so you’re reading the same scene twice just different wording, the timeline is all over the place, one minute she’s being rushed to the healing hut the next she’s in the middle of the fray being attacked and rushed to the healing hut again but we have no idea whether that’s the same scene or a different one because we have no information between one scene ending and the other beginning. The smut is glossed over, barely any details at all and when it happens it’s so rushed you can barely make head nor tails of what’s happening. The connection they have is extremely surface level, we know nothing about either of their back stories and the only time we see the two interact is to fuck but yet they’re fawning all over each other with huge declarations about how much they love each other. The whole “you’ve disgraced the clan” bit with the elders was a “wtf?” Moment cos seriously, you mean to tell me the elders were unaware of a chieftain’s orders? Nah. The whole thing is a mess honestly. I tried to push through, I really really did. But this book is a mess. It’s not been proofread or edited properly, it’s got no solid structure, and the romance is just not there. Also, I’m sorry but since when are gargoyles not made from stone? Since when do they have leathery, scaly skin that they shed? Even the description of the gargoyle love interest is confusing as hell and doesn’t match what an actual gargoyle is!
