A review by gemini_love3
Crowded, Vol. 1 by Christopher Sebela

2.0

The premise is interesting. The world-building could have been better but was still engaging. It was the the characters, especially Charlie, that left a lot to be desired. She was annoying... I wanted to understand her but man she made it difficult. She never took her situation seriously and actively went out of her way to endanger others including her defender, Vita. Vita was almost interesting but she was so cliché - morally ambiguous hero who is good with a gun and fighting and has recently broken up with someone - to the point were Vita was more of an idea or concept rather than an actual character. It could have been better but the ending of this volume made it so I am kinda still interested in seeing why Charlie has a campaign against her. It had that going for it but not much else. Maybe this book is an acquired taste.
