Maya's Reviews > The Nymph King

I was so excited about this book when I read the blurb and few reviews. I wanted to jump into what seemed at the time awesome story. But sadly I was disappointed. To be honest I skimmed the whole book and even dropped it almost at the end. I couldn't stand Shaye and her reason was a too weak one to excuse her behaviour towards a man who truly cared for her. I mean, I get you'd be ticked off when someone took you agains your will and threw you into a whole new, to you alien, word. But there has to be a line between push-pull play where it's still cute and interesting and between a time where it's just annoying as hell. The whole reason I didn't like this book was because of her childish behaviour. And the inner dialog, where one second she wants him and in the next she's all about finding excuses and making herself believe she hates and even loathes him. That really got on my nerves.
I loved her, what seemed only, female friend and I was glad we got to see her story and her POV. She was way more mature and she's been through so much, I loved tha she found love. And boy, she'll have her hands full. ;)
Beside that, I also liked Valerian and I could overlook his past, since we get his POV and see just how much he cares about that ungrateful child. His patience is made of steel.
So there were some good moments but mostly I wished for more. I hope this won't be my last book from this author, since some books look quite promising.
