Ultimatum by K. M. Walton
4.0
*I received a copy of ULTIMATUM from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
(4.5 stars)
I really, really liked this book. I saw it around pretty frequently for a couple days on various social media and I was wondering what it was about, so I went to NetGalley. The synopsis is a little blurry to what would happen in this book, but I enjoyed this nonetheless (even though I have no idea how I'd describe it to someone else).
d i s l i k e s:
Okay, I did really like this book, but it had its faults. For one, the writing wasn't mind-blowing or fantastic, but that didn't really affect the story; it was good enough for the telling to be drawn out perfectly.
Another thing I didn't like is the kinda lack of plot, I guess. ULTIMATUM could be called a finding-yourself or a family novel, but I just don't know how to describe it. Two brothers lose their dad, and go on a journey together. You can't really discern anything from that description.
l i k e s:
Despite the weak-ish plot and the writing, I enjoyed (is enjoyed the wrong word? liked? respected? I don't know) ULTIMATUM. The characters grew together beautifully and it was wonderful to see Vance's character development; Oscar's realization that his brother and father love him was great, too.
Despite the fact that I didn't like the writing, the story was told in a gripping and wonderful way that I really liked. I definitely won't forget this story for a while because of how it was told.
I recommend ULTIMATUM to anyone who can get their hands on it come March 7, and I hope everyone likes it.
