Maeghan 🦋 HIATUS on & off's Reviews > The Longest Autumn

This book had everything to be a 5⭐️ read for me. A God of Death, a Herald who accompanies the dead to the realm, a mystery that needs solving, migraine representation (which was a big bonus)…

By the 50% mark, the writing became repetitive and nothing was moving along. The portal had been broken for 6 months by that point, and no one sought help from the other gods or the one who created it? I know it was mentioned that he wouldn’t want to help but he wasn’t even asked? People were getting killed by the dead that lingered and Autumn didn’t want to tell them to stay inside because he felt like it’d acknowledge the threat?😐 yeah let them die then? Is it really better? Their souls will just linger like the other ones and more people will be killed by those new souls….?

And the other thing is that clues were dropped nonstop in front of Tirne (sometimes she was even part of the conversation) and she just brushed them off or ignored them completely😂

There weren’t any depth to the characters relationships. I expected more from Autumn & Tirne’s - it felt flat for me. The only character that was somewhat mysterious and interesting was Sidriel

AND ALL OF THIS FOR THAT????? The ending was terrible for me. I’m a sucker for good endings and this was horrible. All of this roller coaster for absolutely nothing. The last third of the book made me want to throw it out the window
