Esteban Torres reviewed Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan

Naoise Dolan: Exciting Times (2020, HarperCollins Publishers)

Review of 'Exciting Times' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Don't really know got this ended in my "to read" list... but it was horrible

I cannot think of anything worthy of your time in this book. The story is weak, narration is bland and the characters are either flat, disgusting and forgettable

Review of 'Magic Lessons' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Very interesting book. Proof that you can tell a romantic story without making it cheesy.

The topic of magic is way more explored than in the other two, but reads and plays well with the story.

I would rate them in reverse, this being the best of the three and the first published being the worst. How things interconnect With each other almost make the existence of the first one to make sense.
