Abandon by Meg Cabot
2.0
While another good read from an author I've loved from a long time, I unfortunately had some issues with the book.
While I love the characterisation and loved how Cabot kept certain parts of Pierce's backstory hidden until further into the novel, I felt the jump in scenes suddenly with no warning unnerving. One moment we'd be on the Island, learning of her new life and how she's coping with her return from death, then with no warning we're in the middle of a flashback. It put me off the book, but the characters and the plot are so interesting, I'm wanting to read the rest of the series.
Not Cabot's best book, but at the same time, it's not the worst book I've read. Though unfortunately I go into the rest of the series not expecting much...
