From Venice With Love by Rosanna Ley ARC Review

Hi ForeverBookers,   I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in what feels like AGES! I’ve been reading my arc copy of “From Venice With Love” by Rosanna Ley, a contemporary novel, which sometimes went rather slowly. It was good, don’t get me wrong but it just didn’t have a real WOW factor for me, until the very end. Hence, why I could only read a certain number of pages a day.

I enjoyed getting to know Celaena how she was in Throne Of Glass and Crown Of Midnight and then back tracking, but as I said I go into that below. Also sorry if there is repetition. I tried my hardest to cut that out but when you're writing over the space of a couple of weeks it's hard not to repeat certain aspects, especially if they're significant for more than one novella. My order of favourite novellas: The Ass
