Book Review: The King's Captive (Gates of Myth and Power #1)


 









Overall: 3/5

Plots and Themes: 3/5

Characters: 3/5

Writing Style: 3/5

Attention Grabbing: 3/5

The premise of this book was strange. She turns into a cat- and like exclusively a cat. It kind of became obvious from the start that there would be more to it eventually and we spent the whole book waiting to see what her next trick would be. But in the middle of all that waiting, she gets... adopted? By an elf king who just decides he needs a pet cat. She fit the bill and he places all her trust in her and then we have the awkward and unique experience of watching someone bond with a pet that is totally sentient and basically trapped. 

I think points for being quirky but like it lost me at points. I started dozing off cause it was just so slow-paced and it felt like things were being rehashed that didn't necessarily need to be rehashed. Definitely not as weird as the plot premise sounds, but also I would need a big opener to get me interested in the sequel.
