kb33's review against another edition
adventurous
tense
medium-paced
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.5
Ends on a cliffhanger.
I’m new to the genre, so I found it interesting. The writing is good, but the storyline is a little like good fan fiction. Lots of minor plot holes. Ayla is always a victim, and thinks things like “no one has stood up for me like that in years” when her best friend stood up for her just like that in the first ten pages. I’ll definitely read the next one because I’m interested in this world and the characters.
