How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

5.0 out of 5 starsNew spin on a shifter world.
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019
This is a totally new and awesome spin on the usual shifter story. So in this world theres werecats, wolf shifters, the fae and a couple other species. The wolves are public, the others not so much, and theres an intricate legal / political set up that creates roles that certain species have to abide by if called upon. Jacky is a werecat, who just wants to be left alone. But a mess from the nearby wolf run city all of a sudden turns up on her doorstep, forcing her to step up to a whole host of responsibilities.

I loved the relationship between the werecats and the wolves. It was really interesting that the werecats were so much stronger / different to the wolves rather than just being a variation of the same thing. Also, I thought that the maternal role that Jacky steps into so strongly was a really phenomenal character development and was an aspect that really made me fall for her. The romance / flirtations were there, but I enjoyed them being secondary to the phenomenal storyline.

Oath sworn is a bit different to Kristen's other books, but the phenomenal storyline, great / truly individual and interesting characters, and believable romance is all there. I really fell into this book, and cannot wait to read what comes next. Truly worth reading!!

3.0 out of 5 starsStrong concept, weak construction
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2019
This writer shows promise. The world building is interesting and has plenty of potential for a series. Technically, the writing quality declines steadily. I agree with other reviewers who say there is too much repeated explanation. It may be necessary for the story but could be managed better. The language is stilted in parts. Sentences run on, with too many phrases. Loses stars on poor execution. Won't be buying the next book in the series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stilted and Forced
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. But the further I read, the worse the writing got. The conversations between characters became forced and contrived and awkward. I finally gave up about 70% into the book. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book to anyone else.

This book could have been half its length - a lot of paragraphs could have been left unsaid - just a long boring book with snippets of action

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to get through
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021
This book is pretty awful. I'm about halfway through it and haven't decided whether to stop yet because I like the general plot. But the character dialogue and main character monologue are terrible. It's often unrealistic and overly simple. No complexity...to anything. No talent subtly building characters or moving between scenes. The general plot is good and has room for a great story...that's about it. It almost feels like it's being written by 2 different people with 2 different writing styles and skill levels.
But mostly it feels like it was written by a middleschooler. I'm really not that picky when it comes to fantasy novels but I'm irritated enough to pause in my reading and come leave a review. This author has other books so I'm hoping she gets better at writing over time. Although, I'm not sure I'm motivated enough to pick up the second book.

2.0 out of 5 stars No depth
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019
Oath Sworn was just meh. I never connected with the main character, she just seem distant and whiny. There is some spelling errors throughout, but my main issue with the story is that I just didn’t care what happened to any of the characters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry - it doesn’t deliver.
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020
I want to like it - I just don’t. The story line and different take on the shifter world is really interesting! But the wishy washy main character, the giant holes in the story and the constant repetition are increasingly annoying as the book progresses. I’m about 3/4 through it and I don’t think I can finish. 👎

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a snooze fest
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2021
The premise is good but the dialogue and character building are god awful. I found I really didn't care about anyone in this book. Didn't finish it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good concept, bad writting
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2022
Concept had/has potential. But the writing is clunky, character thoughts and relationship building is amateurish and just bad. Book needed more work.
