Verhaal met potentie dat niet goed geschreven is

I have finished reading my ARC copy of a Fiancee to a unknown, written by Rita Ema.

Quite:
A wish. A trade. A bargain with something beyond understanding.

I normally dont find it hard to write a review, cause wel.. you like it or you dont.
I have to admit that I had trouble writing this review, because Im a bit torn. So I give it my best effort.

The first chapter was good, some parts were even poetic. So I started this book thinking it was promising and in a way it was. The background story is really promising and I would even say quite unique. This made me enjoy it overall, because I wanted to learn the story and know how it ends. This also what made me dislike parts.

The story is about fated mates, not only the main characters, but also the side characters. The love story of the main characters is built okay, but some of the side characters see someone and thats it. They are in love. There is no building up. Also there is almost no wordbuilding or descriptions. Everything is a dialogue and the characters are described by images. Which is not bad, but this means that it misses ambiance.
It also seems like its not edited. Sentences are double, there are grammer mistakes and sentences are not always smooth.

My love was lost. And maybe, just maybe, so was I.

My trouble for writing this review is between all the things that were wrong in the story and the potential of the story. I didn't dislike reading this story and I enjoyed parts, even with the mentioned points. This in combination with me finding the background story appealing, makes me give this book three stars.
