Well, I spent most of this book really, really frustrated with just about everyone in it. Not a good sign. Also made the decision somewhere about halfway through to not continue with this series. I don’t enjoy internally (and in my notes) screaming at the characters. While I do think that the ending of this book will probably push Joanne onto a path I was screaming at her to get on, I don’t have that much faith that she will so… yeah.
I honestly spent a good chunk of the book yelling at Joanne to slow down and do some research into the shit she was getting herself into. It’s not like she didn’t have time during the adventure. Not entirely sure what she spent that time actually doing, but it wasn’t research and it wasn’t sleeping… which she also had time to do but didn’t. Hanging a big ol’ lampshade on this there at the end didn’t make me feel any better about it, either. More research into the rituals and pretty much anything besides someone else looking up snakes for her would have made things a lot more palatable for me.
I also wasn’t a big fan of the coven. A coven welcoming a new member who has no idea what’s going on should be open to explaining themselves and this one was downright rude about Joanne’s lack of knowledge. I understand that a certain member had all the reasons to not be forthcoming, but… I’m just really put off by the whole coven at this point.
So yeah, I’ve decided I’m too frustrated with Joanne at this point, and the author as well, to continue with the series. I need more from my mythological mysteries than a stream of bam, bam, bam, oh hey it’s the villan, big power play to defeat them, ending bow.
