Status Updates From Endark (Seven Brides for Se...

I'm determined to finish this series ❤️ I took a hiatus, but now I'm back and commited!

So stupid… “. No, I don’t want to be your bride!” Then the very next paragraph they’re kissing so passionately that he draws blood. 🩸
“…a tsunami of arousal.” Really? 🤣🙄
Oh HP… I expect better from you!

Did it improve by the end? Somewhat. I still feel like there's some serious pacing issue, the romance is secondary to descriptions/inner-monologues and spice is more important than for the couple to grow closer. Why have a plot when it's completely ignored? Why have romance when it's literally summarised in one paragraph? And the side-plot? It happened, then they prepared to sort it out and then it got ignored.

Instead of focusing on showing us how the characters grow closer by actions and scenes that showcase their growing bond, we literally get a paragraph explaining it. How is that a good idea? How am I supposed to like the characters and their romance when the important details are squeezed into a quick summary reducing both the characters and the romance into something that feels trivial.
