I’m struggling a little with what
to say about this books. I liked it, but there was just something about it that
felt off.
The entire book is a mystery. You
follow along as the main characters try to figure out what is going on. I felt
like the author was trying to give off intense vibes sometimes, but they just
didn’t really work. The entire book moves along at a pretty steady pace. It’s
not slow, it’s just not exciting. Events that should have been heart stopping
were just a little more interesting, but it didn’t have that page turner
quality.
I think the concept is fantastic.
It’s set in a very realistic world, with relate-able characters. The problem is…
I just don’t care about some of them enough. There are a couple that I feel
attached to though. A few deaths hit me harder than others (not a spoiler, you
can tell from the first paragraph that lots of death is coming). Only one of
them gave me true sadness. The rest didn’t really bother me that much. I felt
worse the other people had to handle it than truly sorry for the loss. I feel
like there needs to be more focus on developing the characters and showing us
who they are.
That all said. I did like the
book. I will be starting the second one (probably later today). I am hoping as
the series goes on the character depth will increase and I’ll get to rate the
books higher.
