Thorn In My Side
Ratings2
Average rating2.8
Loved the first three books of this series; didn't make it through the first chapter of this one.
(here comes the mildly spoilery part)
It's one thing to have your female protagonist rename herself Ophelia. It's entirely another to have said protagonist suddenly and violently change personality to match Shakespeare's Ophelia. How is this sudden desperation for male validation coming from our brave badass bitch who for three books has barely batted an eye at handling her business? What is this long drawn-out teenage girl meltdown? I don't know who this person even is any more.
I thought Rhiannon was - slightly terrifying, but great. My personal opinion perhaps, but I hate Ophelia; if the series had started out with her I'd have never gone on reading it.
