Book Talk 2.
"Arranged," by @sani-malfoy
~A Draco Malfoy x OC love story, located in my Draco Malfoy reading list.~
Hello, my Queens, it's your girl, Hope, back with another Book Talk!
Over the last two days, I have spent the majority of my time invested in the fanfic "Arranged." To be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the romantic tension between Lilith and Draco. That was to die for. The book itself is a light read; it's not too heavy on the heart, though it does spark emotions within the reader. However, if you are in the market for something more stirring, I would highly recommend fanfics like WonderWall, Everlasting, and Learn to Love Him. All of these are located in my Draco Malfoy reading list for your convenience.
The drama was well-balanced, involving many other characters rather than just the love interests. We even got some wonderful tension with the family, developing the relationship of our mains! Something that I loved about this book is how there isn't too much hate between Draco and Lilith. Their relationship exhibits more of a "rivalry" trope, rather than an "enemies to lovers" one that is commonly portrayed in these types of fanfics. Overall, a lovely read if you want to recover from reading something really plot-induced, and not so much of a slow burn!
I have one critique, though, the grammar, word choice, and writing. Like I said in my last book review, when I read, I like it to be in a way that's equivalent to reading a book. I could go on an entire tangent about this, but I'm running out of word count. If you want a further explanation, though, as to what I mean when I critique the writing of a fanfic, please let me know. I would love to! But, for the time being, please reference my last book talk's second paragraph about writing!
Regardless, I would give this book a 6.5/10! Very nice and well articulated! Thank you, @sani-malfoy, for your work! It was greatly appreciated!
Love,
Hope Kapar
