Katerina's Reviews> Rhapsodic

Ugh, what have you done to me, Laura Thalassa?

‣ I startedRhapsodicwith trepidation, which is attributed to the clusterf*ck calledPestilence,but thankfully, I enjoyed it way, way more!
‣ However, something was amiss and I can't pinpoint it. It felt like it could use some filling in, like chunks of the story were missing and the flaw was not seamless.
‣ I couldn't get a clear image of the supernatural world, of the sirens and the fae and the Bargainer himself, everything was rather muddy.
‣ I have developed a strong aversion to fae mates, courtesy ofA Court of Mist and Fury,so the eye-rollings were inevitable (though not due to Laura Thalassa's fault).
‣ Callie was not an easy character to root for, mainly because I couldn't understand her decisions. The Bargainer, on the other hand, was as alluring as they come, but there are still many secrets about him and I don't think I have the patience to uncover them.
‣ The plot was very intriguing, and it was wonderfully interlaced with the romance.
‣ The chemistry between present Callie and the Bargainer was extraordinary. However, their connection when she was a teen was a tad unsettling, given than the Bargainer is (we pressume) an ancieng being.
‣ Iseehow talented Laura Thalassa is, but I can'tloveher stories, even though I want to.
