Sovereign by Jane Henry
1.5
This was shaping up to be a cute lil three star read but that godforsaken third act breakup reared its ugly head. Several chapters of an FMC droning on and on about a known crime lord doing crime lord shit THAT SHE WAS ALREADY PRIVY TO 95% OF really crumbled my cookie to smithereens. An editor really needs to clean this up because this is a common theme throughout the book. The FMC is said to have perfect recall and yet she’ll remark on information she learned in previous interactions as if she’s never heard it before. Having a character with a perfect memory does not work if you the author aren’t going to be diligent. Also, near future epilogues should be abolished. If you’re not going to set that bad boy years after the end of the last chapter then keep it. Six months down the line is another chapter in the story NOT an epilogue. This is not a book i would revisit.
