A review by read_withtay
The Dysasters by Kristin Cast, P.C. Cast
3.0
I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review as part of the blog tour.
Actual 3.5/5 stars.
QUICK THOUGHTS:
• This book was different! Both the plot line and the contents. There are actual sketches in between written pages and that was unique and I loved that!
• The plot was good. It felt like a Sky High/X Men vibe, with other characters having a Volturi vibe. There are teenagers who control certain elements and find each other to form a camaraderie.
• I haven’t read anything by these authors before but I found the writing enjoyable. It was funny and there were parts that were like ‘lol wait what’ (i.e. Tate and Foster sing to connect their power?) but I liked it anyway.
• I felt like the book did move so fast. Other elemental kids were popping up everywhere. These kids were just traversing the country. It was hard to keep up with but I was able to.
• There also wasn’t too much explanation of a backstory of how they got created in the first place. We know the names of people and that there were experiments, but not as much as I’d hoped.
