A review by andreacaro
Day Zero by Kelly deVos
2.0
Yeaaaaah idk what to rate this.
Some pros - no one can deny this is a page turner. There's a crap-ton of stuff going on on every page.
I also like that this is about someone with at least a modicum of tech knowledge.
Negatives:
- I kind thought this would be more apocalyptic?
- It's also HIGHLY political and when I say political, there's an election and one side is a socialist side and the other side is the red hat-wearing opposition who cheated to win an election. And tbh with you, the writing had a fair bit of sympathy for the fake republicans to the point I wanted to one star this book. Though I will admit that it tried to look at both sides of the spectrum, but it was borderline preachy.
- Not rating the book down for this, but there was some preachy stuff about race and indigenous people andddd in general I don't now how I feel about that.
- MC's lil bro has diabtetes and a bunch of the drama in the first half was about that but then it didn't get mentioned much for the rest of the story.
- MC was stupid. Her stepsister was stupid. Her brother was stupid. And whiny, my god the whining.
- The real "villain" was kind of random and ridiculous and the MC just randomly put it together? And then the villain basically fucked themselves over ten seconds after talking about how bad they needed someone.
IDK weird book.
