I ENJOYED THE PLOT OF THE BOOK AND THOUGHT THAT IT HAD MANY MOMENTS THAT PULLED ME IN, EAGER TO TURN THE PAGES AND SEE WHAT UNFOLDS. I CAN SEE THE IDEAS THAT THE AUTHOR HAD AND WANTED TO CONVEY, BUT I FOUND MYSELF WANTING MORE.

THE CHARACTERS WERE SLIGHTLY LACKING. I WANTED MORE FROM THEM IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT, MOTIVES AND BACKGROUNDS. THE BOOK SEEMED TO SKIM OVER THESE NEEDED DETAILS AND I WISH THE AUTHOR TOO THE TIME TO FLESH THEM OUT. THOUGHT THAT THE PACING WAS A BIT OFF, AND IT FELT LIKE THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK WAS RUSHED. OUR FMC, FOUND OUT THAT HER ENTIRE LIFE WAS A LIE AND SUDDENLY SHE WANTED TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND CHANGE IT, FEELING THIS RANDOM DRIVE TO “DO MORE.” I JCOULD GET BEHIND THIS IF WE HAD PROPER BACKGROUND OF OUR FMC ESTABLISHED, BUT IT WAS LACKING AND LEFT ME UNSATISFIED AND CONFUSED.

THE BOOK WAS A GENERAL EASY READ AND I DID ENJOY IT, BUT I JUST WISH THAT THE AUTHOR TOOK THE TIME TO GIVE DEPTH TO THE WORLD AND THE CHARACTERS WE ARE MEANT TO BE ROOTING FOR. OTHERWISE, A DECENT START TO THE SERIES.
