The Dragon Choker, the second installment in Stephanie Alexander's Cracked Glass Slipper trilogy, is the biggest disappointment of them all. Granted, I had read a collection of 24 romance novels before reading this book and had a chance to reflect on the story as a whole.
I feel terrible for saying this, especially since the author spent so much time on the books, but the story as a whole is weak, childish, and immature. None of the two things I wanted to have happened in the first book happened in the second novel. If anything, the characters became even more like petulant children, not the adults they were claiming to be. I can no longer root for Dorian and Eleanor because of that, which is the whole reason I wanted to read the second story.
To make matters worse, instead of resolving any conflicts, puts even more in that do not feel believable at all.
I read only the first five chapters before skipping to the last two chapters to see if it was worth my time. I also previewed the first three chapters of the final book that were also included in the copy, and yep, it is a waste of my time.
So if you are bored and want to waste your time, then this is the book for you. The sad fact is that it is not this book series time to shine, and it shows.
1 out of 5 stars.
