A review by heidirgorecki
The Mesmerist by Caroline Woods

I gave up. It annoyed me so much and there are just so many better things I want to read. Every female character in this book is whiney and petty. Especially the main character. 

She’s supposed to be a notorious (the best) assassin but she complains that the floor is too cold, that her clothes are ugly, and that no one knows who she is or compliments her. She even states that she’d “rather be hated than invisible”, and Caoel had to explain to her why it’s good to be underestimated. Seriously?? How has she even survived? Maybe she needs to think of a career change if that’s the case since that kind of whole basis of a good assassin…. DNF at 41%
