I am a huge fan of purple prose and synesthesia writing. However sometimes it feels like there’s this drive to be different so much so that people end up saying the weirdest things to make that happen. If she had said something like a summer night or a cool wind I would’ve gotten the vibe from it, but the words by themselves mean nothing

@leiasbo2728 10 месяцев назад

i think part of it is a desire to have certain lines snipped and posted on social media. i read some stuff sometimes where you can just tell the author was trying really really hard to write something that could be posted out of context with like a moodboard edit on instagram hahahaha

@peggyluwhoreads 10 месяцев назад

It's differently different.

@kristyw89 10 месяцев назад

I agree. You can't just say "she tasted like hope and sunshine" like those things don't have intrinsic tastes and it's silly to assume people know what you're talking about. Even amongst synesthetes things can have different associations. You have to do a little bit more work, like what you said. Saying he tastes like a frosty winter night or a warm summer breeze evoke two different feelings that I could get into.

I swear, it's like Garber is intentionally trying to write the most inane, silly, meaningless, overly flowery metaphors and similes possible.

It’s think the series would be way better if it a book about over coming deception. Like everyone has a pretty face and Evangeline is a young naive girl who wants to fall in love. It should have been about a girl who wants love but gets tricked my handsome immortal man to do his bidding. He tricks others so hard to fulfill his self ship needs. Evangeline could grow in character by learning from her mistakes and using her kindness to form bonds with people who help her defeat the evil selfish man. But nope she falls in love with a guy who screwed her over and manipulated her and her husband. Literally she ready bounce on her husband who has been horribly cursed. Not to forget she also bounced when Luc got cursed attack by wolves and turned into a vampire!!! She just wants the next big thing

Idk if anyone reads into Kirkus Reviews (I don’t but I’ll check in occasionally) and normally they’re so wrong but they hit the nail on the head with BALLAD: ‘…Unfortunately, the impact of Evangeline’s often amusing narration and numerous surprising plot twists is diluted by the meandering pacing, convoluted sensory descriptions, and close focus on Evangeline’s fluctuating attraction toward her potential love interests. Despite the positive emphasis on hope and happily-ever-afters, Evangeline’s romantic relationship with Jacks borders on manipulative and toxic.’

@starlightarcher1534 5 месяцев назад

I gotta say when I started reading 'Once Upon a Broken Heart' I thought that Evangeline and Jacks would have much more chemistry and that it would build to a kiss and she'd be fine and turn out to be his true love hahahaha and then I gave up on that a few chapters in when I realised it was going in a completely different direction. I also really wish her sister hadn't been shady and they could have had a good relationship because the women rivals or betrayers is so tired and overdone I just wish it had been done differently. Really what I get from that book is that it could have been so much more with some changes and better direction and it looks to be the same for the sequels. Change some stuff and give the plot more focus and let Evangeline be a bit smarter and more in control of her life. Like the book isn't about her doing stuff and reacting the plot just kind of happens to her. She's so passive and kinda unintelligent

Did this book have a plot? No. Did it simply build on relationships to set up the last book? Yep. Is it still my favourite book in the trilogy? Absolutely

I've been trying to figure out Jacks' whole thing. Donatella was supposed to be his one true love right? That happened in Legendary. So how is he actually the love interest in this trilogy now? Did something happen in finale that explains that? (Edit: Never mind. It comes up in this book. But we still do not understand.)

Vengeance. Slaughterwood. That has to be a joke, right?

Hoping that Rachel reads Finale. Have I read any of these books? No. Did I understand anything you tried to explain? No, but I know it is as close as I'll ever get to understanding, because the books seem so badly written.

i would interpret "sparkles on her skin" as that weird feeling in your arm when you bump your elbow bone. not pleasant at all. i love flowery prose but this feels like she's forcing herself to describe feelings that don't need to be elaborated on. purple prose for it's own sake. that kind of thing can distract from the actual writing if it doesn't serve a purpose

Lol I myself have synesthesia and I know how absurd my associations sound to other people. Putting them in a book for a wide audience is either very self-centered or just silly.

10:35 I literally wrote a writing prompt about this exact situation back in 2020. It's on Pinterest. Like, sure anyone can come up with that idea but it's a hell of a coincidence...

Jax and Lala? I’m choosing to believe this is a Vanderpump Rules fan fic. Or this is the cast’s DnD campaign.

Wait... did the author steal the whole "similar wounds appearing on two different people" from the anime Kiznaiver?! That was a big part of the anime's plot!
