Lair of Dreams - Libba Bray

This. Book. Is. Terrible.


There is a fake romance going on between Sam and Evie cause now that the Fitzgeralds have left for Europe, the U.S. needs some new young and bright things. Vomit. Sam is awful and Evie is awful. I loathed both of them in book #1 and still loathe them now. Evie is a jerk and is obsessed with parties and being special and God help her if she loses her looks. Wow. I am just full of rage today. 

 

Theta and Memphis are just a no. I don't care. I feel like Bray threw in some of the POC characters to have some diversity check in her mind and doesn't know what to do with them.

 

Jericho and Mabel are annoying. He's not into you, and Mabel knows it, and she even knows that Evie and Jericho have "feelings" for each other, but she hopes he let's that go and gives her a try to date. Did you follow that hot mess? I just felt anger through this whole stupid love rectangle that is going on. 

 

Ling is just there having a whole different plot/story than the mess that is going on with the other characters. I cannot believe I am at 40 percent of a 616 page book (Kindle version which makes it page 258) and nothing has freaking happened. Ugh.
