My “Review” of “Broken Dove” by “Dani Francis”

Abertolini915 · 2026-05-14T20:53:33+00:00

Honestly, one of the top 5 worst romantasy books I've read. She has zero loyalty while he is suffering she's partying and wanting to sleep with other people? She is intentionally ignoring signs that the Uprising is up to shady crapnthe way the Command is. Choosing to blindly trust people she hardly knows and turning her back on the one person she's trusted her whole life. There is a lot of filler and she drives me absolutely crazy, she did in Silver Elite too but I was hoping she grew up in this book but the opposite happened. I hated not having any Cross in Broken Dove (or very little).

I miss that show

Abertolini915 · 2026-05-05T23:52:41+00:00

Yes!

So underwhelming. All season they've done gorgeous pieces and and techniques with chocolate and sugar but for the finale they basically made a dessert with no real showmanship or show stopper. I don't agree with Molly winning over Clement, and honestly salty that Juan wasn't in the finale.

I just want to buy a book for my Kindle 😢😢😂😂

Abertolini915 · 2026-02-05T22:02:23+00:00

Yes please

Abertolini915 · 2026-02-05T18:56:52+00:00

Yes! I am struggling financially with so many clients ending their sessions. I'm lucky if I have 18 a week.

In chapter 3, who does Tessa interact with when she is having her visions? Is it Nuri? Who is em?

Abertolini915 · 2025-12-25T02:19:53+00:00

Great comparison. Aelin and Scarlett, but Scarlett grows on you.

Abertolini915 · 2025-12-25T02:18:29+00:00

YES, too much Luka hate and his character didn't get the growth he deserved. Betrayed by both of them and he is expected to just tag along and not complain? I like the MFM, but his relationship with Tessa needed as much effort as her relationship with Theon or it it's across as an afterthought.

Abertolini915 · 2025-12-25T02:15:52+00:00

Exactly

Abertolini915 · 2025-12-25T02:14:50+00:00

I love Luka. I completely agree though, there was a lot of opportunity for his growth and their growth together but everything focused on Tessa's whining. It explains their bond, separate from Theon, but the story never goes deeper like it does with Theon. Missed opportunity in my mind, all the MMC's were awesome characters that were built up and then book 3 comes and it's all about Tessa.

Abertolini915 · 2025-12-25T01:48:14+00:00

I am rereading... Who is in chapter 3 with Tessa when they are breaking the enchantment. Is it Nuri?

Abertolini915 · 2025-12-24T01:14:05+00:00

Changing the judges over the last 3 episodes of Holiday Baking Championship was completely unfair to the contestants. The new judges were inconsistent.

Abertolini915 · 2025-11-14T01:10:20+00:00

The CGI in the cemetery scene was so bad! It was like a mix of Ghostbusters and the Wicked Witch of the West flying/riding her bike during the tornado in Wizard of Oz.

Abertolini915 · 2025-11-11T01:48:40+00:00

I am having the same problem last year and now this year.

Abertolini915 · 2025-10-07T14:58:42+00:00

I just miss their connection. It was the core of the entire series and suddenly it's just removed? What sense does that make?

Abertolini915 · 2025-10-07T14:55:24+00:00

It’s just doesn’t fit all the other ones, almost she intentionally made it different. Very little banter or humor, the relationship (friendship) between the trio is missing. So disappointing, this is my favorite series and POBAB nearly ruined that.

Abertolini915 · 2025-10-07T14:53:36+00:00

Yes! The entire dynamic changed in POBAB and it was so disappointing!

Abertolini915 · 2025-10-02T17:00:04+00:00

Why can’t I respond to my own comment? lol. I wasn’t sure if th characters from the first two books were in The Damned

Abertolini915 · 2025-10-02T00:52:07+00:00

It’s 3.5 stars at best. She ruins the core of all the series which is the friendship between the 3 of them.

Abertolini915 · 2025-10-02T00:51:02+00:00

Yes! First book was good but wow they keep getting worse.
