Never a Hero

2,5* Interessantes Setting, aber leider war die Protagonistin zu inaktiv, fast wie eine Beobachterin. Konnte nicht mitfühlen.

These books are so hard for me to review, cause it's seriously well written and I do like the story a lot. But something about the characters, except for Joan and Aaron, and the relationships between them, the vibes are just really off.I can't connect with any of them, but that doesn't matter if only I could root for them. But that's also not the case. I simply do not care how and "when" they end up. The ending of the book should be really exciting and shocking, but I'm not sure I care enough to find out how this will all be resolved.There was also just too much Nick in this book. I get it, he has a tragic backstory. But he still feels like an untoasted piece of bread for me that doesn't have anything interesting going on.I do love the writing and I really love how the time traveling element is done in this story.But it's just hard to get into when you don't care or when the focus is on a character that doesn't make you feel anything except a whole lot of meh.Also, I switched to the audiobook after a few pages and the narrator did a really good job, the only reason I finished this.Somehow I didn't notice that it was a trilogy instead of a duology and that just pissed me off when I reached the end. It's a bummer, cause the third one does have the prettiest cover LOL but I'm not sure I'm gonna read it. Right now it's a no.
