Et, contrairement aux nombreuses critiques 5 étoiles, que j’essaie toujours de comprendre, celle-ci était extrêmement lente. En fait, c’était super tout – le rythme était douloureux avec la relation et sur le front de l’action. C’était mort dans l’eau ou surchargé de scènes de remplissage qui n’ajoutaient pas à l’élan de l’intrigue. Je sautais des pages comme si ma vie en dépendait. Cela rappelait presque le dernier livre de Sookie de Charlaine Harris moins la vérification des e-mails.
– What makes for a strong story are strong characters, weak is NEVER sexy. Sure, have some initial/occasional self-doubt but after the learning curve, cut it off. Turning your protagonist into a compulsive apologist makes for bad fiction and contradicts where the protagonist is supposed to end up -ultimately a position of power, no? She’s supposed to be maturing not regressing to a 13 year old idiot. The story should not be found in the mountain of self-doubt you wish your protagonist to experience over the length of a bible, it should be found in actual challenges in her way and the meat is in how she deals with them (i.e. Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost)
– Caleb = emasculation. Having him say « I love you » every 10 seconds and pretty much nothing else makes him come off as….a little whipped and one dimensional. Not to mention, more importantly, when I’m reading the L word every page it really loses impact when they do say it, not as meaningful.
– Bish – I wanted to chop his head off and feed slowly to my goldfish. I’m not too sure what the point was in making him as ultra annoying as he was. Even the strictest parents wouldn’t be that overreactive to a few kisses. Perhaps find a different way to build his forlorn character portrait. Having him ride the heroine that hard about her destined relationship just turns the reader against the character. Honestly I couldn’t care less if he gets his HEA and when he does, he’ll just be a big hypocrite.
– Same for Kyle, thankfully I skimmed to the part where he imprinted and could stop being just as annoying as Bish.
– Story was too much centered around Maggie. Although not always the case in general, in Accordance it made me feel something was missing from the story. Everyone was all about her, dealing with her freakouts, soothing her sadness, dancing around to make her happy. I guess it was the characters weren’t really their own person, more of a vehicle to allow Maggie to exist and experience life as an Ace, which she spent wishing for the opposite the majority of the book. It was annoying. If you’re stuck being a Supernatural with a really hot guy for eternity f***kin suck it up already and get the step on! (hide spoiler)]
