The Descendants series



I decided to post this series all together since I had similar feelings about each book.

**
PG (13?)
{L} {UM} {TMP} {BS}
Definitely Not Recommend

I should learn not to get my hopes up about any book and then I won't ever be disappointed :)

First of all, the novella and After the Rain especially, were a bit confusing to me.  I felt like they were too vague on a few points and I didn't feel like I was understanding everything I should be.
Second of all, there was language in all four of them...taking the name of God in vain and also the "b" word referring to an illegitimate child.  There was also one use of a variation of the "d" word.
Thirdly, there were many an uncomfortable moment.  I can't rightly recall what they were because of all the other things I was not happy with but I remember they were there.
Fourthly, there was definitely Too Much Passion...especially in books 3 and 4.  Too much description!
Last of all, throughout, there are backstories of infidelity and a woman with very loose morals.

The plots weren't totally devoid of imagination and interest so I did give the series 2 stars.

  1. I read the first one, and wasn't drawn to read more. But then I came across some very positive reviews for the fourth one, so I decided to give it a try. I don't keep detailed notes like you do, but I know I didn't love it and decided I was finished reading her stuff.
