I finally finished it. When I say finally, I mean this took so long. The book kind of actually ended at chapter 120 or something like that but they had little side stories for the next like 30 chapters. But I finally finished it and I am so happy. The book was OK. I started it before, but it was still being written so I started and stopped a couple of times before actually even finishing it. It’s basically a revenge story. One thing that I didn’t quite understand is how she had so much power and yet she never really used it. I just felt like she should’ve used her power in fighting situations a lot more than showed because it seemed that she was actually a lot more weak willed than she was, and she was just pretending to be strong. Or like they were trying to create her to be a strong female character, but I never believed it. Either way her family was kind of trash and I was actually a little bit sad that her mom ended up dying although her mom was trying to kill her. She kind of turned it around and was trying to help her in the end but she still ended up dying. I was like, but I mean she wasn’t really trying to help her. She was more so helping herself so yes and no. But I felt like they paste it very oddly. The whole thing with the Empress Stanger I guessed it immediately and I was like OK let’s just see how this plays out. But honestly, I felt that led up to this whole big crescendo this climax that really was anti-climactic. So the whole thing is basically like she hast to become the Arabella so that she can stop this disease from spreading and that literally starts at I want to say the beginning of the book , it’s like right when she makes her contract with the Duke. But they never express her a version to being a contract kid or even going to them addressing the contract after it’s made. I was thinking that we were going to have a little bit more along the lines of your our real daughter and we care about you. We don’t want the contract anymore. We just want you kind of conversations. But instead, they kind of just welcomed her and she had one or two other fleeting moments where she was like well I’m just a contract kid and then they never addressed it. She was like I’m just part of the family And I’m like what like we never got over that. And we also had a moment where she was like. I’m scared of fire and all of this but they kind of tried to bring it back with stones and I was like no no she’s not afraid of fire stones that was the whole point of the stone was that there was no fire in the house so she wasn’t afraid of fire stones but OK . Another thing they had addressed was the whole situation with the mom being betrayed. We don’t know how she got betrayed and how she got this car on her face. I thought they were gonna explain it in the extras, but they never did she just got betrayed that’s it that’s what they said and I was like OK whatever I don’t really care but I thought they would’ve explained it instead they explained how the parents met and how the dad got his scar but OK. so anyways back to the plot, it was kind of like how she was introduced to the family. The oldest brother Rielee took her and the younger brother was a little bit more weary of her and took some time to warm up then she goes and has all of these little side Things that go into how she becomes the Arabella and I’m like OK whatever I don’t really care and she becomes Arabella and now we’re just literally filling in time so that we can get to the point where she hast to fulfill her duties. At this time we realize that or at least I did that they needed to create romance and I was like I’m not feeling it. I really felt that the man liking her just came out of nowhere. I know it was supposed to be like oh you know I’ve like her for so long. I’ve been her friend for so long and this and the third, but it really came out of nowhere and he was over here like she reminds me of my little brother . Chemistry like they were fine, but I was like she she could’ve had somebody else or he could’ve been with somebody else I really wouldn’t of cared. To climax, so the whole thing with the temple was actually a pretty good fight scene except like she got tricked by them two kids, and I was like how you get tricked by it but go off . And then it just didn’t make a lot of sense and I was like I do not care and then the whole fight scene. Now the fight scene was in different places because the mom was fighting the Empress, the dad was fighting her old dad, she was also fighting her dad and plus the assassins and then her brother was fighting the assassins and was helping the mom , the other brother was helping mom and then I don’t know why but all of a sudden now they’re attacking the Dukes house and the leading man kind of sort of arrested his daddy and then he was going and fighting and I don’t even like he was he was everywhere he was helping the mom and then he was helping her and I was like, bro where are you , and that whole situation was just so confusing, annoying because it was like built up to be like this huge fight. It was so good but it wasn’t. And I want to say mostly it’s because the dumb king. so the king was like oh my gosh no my son is my son blah blah blah and I’m like who cares that boy is not your son. You may have thought he was your son all these years but he’s not your biological son OK and he is your stepmother son who she’s trying to Make the king and he’s cool with that so he was gonna use syrup the throne and like no offense, but you knew that your brother also had betrayed you you’re stupid. He was just letting anybody and everybody get away with everything and then they want to be like oh yeah he didn’t let anybody off when they found no no. Mr. teddy bear was just trying to look hard, but he was really reeling. He he was not a good king and he really did a disservice to the people of that kingdom. I felt that they deserved better and he would have led them Into despair he would have. But he was like oh we needed time of peace and pieces but we needed time of peace with the competent king and he was not. He was way too nice and way too weak willed as well. So anyways, the wife would’ve better better than him , but yeah, so all of that and then we end with her sucking up the virus or the plague or whatever and then we go into the side stories and I’m like you know what as a matter of fact I couldn’t care less about this dumb book anymore, it was around the time where she went to the temple that I was like yeah I don’t wanna read this anymore and I just like kept reading and it was I had to push I had to push, but yeah So I don’t think I would ever read this again. It was the first time and that’ll be good enough for me.

The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion

Complete | Milcha,Golae | 2000 released

This was a really cute book. I will give a description so it was like basically she was in South Korea and then she transmigrated into a book that she had read while waiting for her college entrance exam acceptance letter and then she finds out that she’s going to be killed by her fiancé so she decides to change her fate because she knows how the book goes. She ends up getting into a contract relationship with the leading man of the book who is the Duke and they just fall in love. It’s very cliché and everything, but I still liked it and I like the ending. They had a little girl and yeah, that was it.

The Abandoned Empress

Complete | Ina, yuna | 2000 released

This was such a long book. I started reading the book a while ago and then I stopped and then I restarted it and then I stopped and I finally finally finished it. I kind of liked the book at the beginning. It was a little confusing, but once we got the stride, I was like I like this book. I remember not liking it around the part where Alan started acting a little raggedy so I had stopped. I wanted to stop both of the former times around that part. But this time I pushed through and I finished the book. I was a little disappointed with some of the plots. I felt like they were just kind of thrown together and some of the people weren’t as important as they were made to seem. That or some of the people were important and then they just like disappeared all of a sudden so, yeah. But as far as the ending, it was kind of drawn out. Which is weird to say because the plot towards the end was so confusing. Granted I was kind of skipping some parts, but it was just like descriptive scenery things that really didn’t need to be read. It was when they started introducing all of these new aristocrats and all of the stuff I just started getting confused and I was like who is this and who’s that and I was like I don’t even know who is involved anymore. The point of the matter is is that it really could’ve ended, but it was also so thrown together. I think that the writers genuinely stopped understanding what was going on. They were drawing out so much. The writers got confused and I was like me too. So yeah, but it was a cute little book. As far as the leading couple- I am going to say that the leading lady and the leading man kept having the same conversation about her wanting to get married or her wanting to be the heir of her household, and that was annoying. But other than that, I liked most of the characters and I don’t think I would read it again, but I’m happy that I finished it.
