Tessa did not die and instead lived.And seven years had passed. “Long time no see, Tessa.” Hert, who she thought had died, returned. He became a decent man. * “Do you long for your husband?” Hert took turns looking at Tessa and the portrait of the old lord he had just seen. “What if I killed that bastard?” Tessa s**ked in her breath at the terrifyingly cold voice.

My Thoughts on Not Knowing The Betrayal Of That Day

"Not Knowing The Betrayal Of That Day" is... a lot. Diving into this novel, I was prepared for a rollercoaster, given its tags: fantasy, psychological, romance, smut, and tragedy all rolled into one. What I found was a dark and angsty story that definitely isn't for the faint of heart.

First Impressions

Right off the bat, the premise is intriguing, albeit disturbing. Childhood friends, a misunderstanding, betrayal, and years of suffering. The setup has potential, but the execution seems to be where things get dicey. The initial chapters pull you in with the promise of a revenge-fueled plot, but the story quickly devolves into something much more problematic.

What Works Well

Honestly, finding aspects that "work well" is a challenge. The initial angst and drama are compelling, and the male lead, Hert, is arguably the most interesting character. His internal conflict, torn between love and hate for the female lead, Tessa, could have been explored in a more nuanced way. The political tension bubbling in the background also offers a glimpse of a potentially richer narrative, but it gets overshadowed.

Areas of Concern

The biggest issue, and it's a significant one, is the portrayal of the relationship between Hert and Tessa. It's toxic, abusive, and often reads as non-consensual. The female lead's characterization is also a major sticking point. Her naivete and seeming lack of agency can be frustrating, making it difficult to connect with her or root for her redemption. The plot, at times, feels convoluted and nonsensical, with character actions that defy logic.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "Not Knowing The Betrayal Of That Day" is a deeply flawed novel. While it attempts to explore themes of trauma, revenge, and redemption, it falls short due to its problematic portrayal of relationships, questionable character motivations, and often convoluted plot. If you're looking for a dark and angsty read, proceed with caution and be aware of the triggers involved. For me, the negatives outweigh the positives, making it a difficult recommendation.
