A review by shryanayak
The Beginning of Everything by Kristen Ashley
2.0
Expected more after Golden Dynasty series but oh boy..
First off, the book begins with gruesome scenes. Includes r*pe. And guess what? Includes many more gruesome scenes.
I had a huge problem with this book. Initially I was excited to read this series as I was in love with Golden Dynasty , Fantastical, Wildest Dream & Broken Dove
But
This had around five different point of views and maybe the author wanted to add depth and tell the story from every character's side, yet for me, it a was totally opposite experience as a reader.
I felt that it actually made the story feel bland and plain. Instead of telling the plot from 5 different POVs which did not make me feel connected to the characters, individually, in any sort of way, the author could've gone ahead with only two main characters in book one.
Maybe Mars and Silence in this one, with the other couples shown as side characters.
And then those couples could've been given their own books in the later series that follow this.
Loved the plot, but again, it was a messy read for me.
Not planning on reading the rest of the books that follow this.
But I'll keep my ears open for new books from the author because Kristen Ashley's plots are always out of the box and her romance, mostly, is splendid.
