"The Curse of Grandeur was a huge disappointment for me. The plot was convoluted, and it felt like the author was trying too hard to be mysterious. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them. Additionally, the pacing was incredibly slow, and I found myself bored and uninterested in what was happening. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating and engaging read."

"I couldn't even finish The Curse of Grandeur because I found it unbearable. The writing style was pretentious and overly verbose, making it hard to follow what was happening. The excessive description took away from the story and made it feel like a chore to read. Furthermore, the characters were unlikable and lacked any redeeming qualities. I regret wasting my time on this book."

The characters were difficult to connect with, as their motivations and actions often seemed illogical and inconsistent. The writing itself was mediocre at best, with cliched dialogue and predictable plot twists. Overall, I found this book to be a frustrating and unsatisfying read."
