A review by readwithethel
Of Us and Them by T.L. Coughlin

4.0

Good world building and brave characters

Key words: young adult, science fiction, mystery, murder

I got this book because I thought the blurb was really interesting, and indeed, the story was. For the first third of the book, we follow Evren train with her mother in order to mature and become one of the twelve Paladins. It was interesting to see the relationship between the two. I could feel that there were a lot of secrets the mother was not sharing with Evren. Once she matured, the other Paladins are introduced as well as some other crucial characters. This was a lot of names to remember and, as I took a break in the middle of the book, it was a bit difficult to go back in it.

The last third of the book was the most interesting part because there is a murder mystery going on and it becomes quite intense. I also became attached to some of the characters such as Evren or Ryu. The ending really makes me want to read the next book. I wish it was out already. I can’t wait to know more about our characters and follow them on their journey.

I recommend this book to scifi fans.

4/5

Thank you to T.L. Coughlin for this eArc in exchange of my honest opinion
