A review by judemoon
Ashes to Ashes by Siobhan Vivian, Jenny Han
3.0
I was afraid of not liking this third book as much as I liked the other two and I was (as expected) right. In my case I'm sure it was because of the timing, because I read the second book 3 or 4 years prior to this one, so I had forgotten half of the plot and I obvsly noticed some things I hadn't quite catch at that time.
The plot was quite good, it just felt quite... hectic. Lots of things happened and some of them came out of the blue and I must say at times I felt a little bit confused about everything.
As for the characters I actually was dissapointed with my renewed view of them. There's some people that I didn't like from the very beginning, Reeve and Rennie for example, but characters like Lillia and Kat felt much more flat than I remembered. This happened basically because I didn't understand the motifs behind the mayority of their decisions, specially Lillia's, so I couldn't quite connect to them or feel as much sympathy for them as I would've liked it to.
In general, I didn't love it, but I would recommend it if you are starting to read YA and you want a fast-paced trilogy, because if there's something I really enjoyed about these books was how fast you read them.
My rating: 6/10
