A review by siyun
Flame by Amy Kathleen Ryan
1.0
i read the first 2 books in this series 8 years ago, when I was deeply obsessed with YA dystopian book.
i picked this book up because frankly, i just wanted to cross it off my 'tbr' list and finish the trilogy.
the book just did not capture my interest, i lost interest pretty much halfway through and skim read the rest.
how could the plot be so boring????
the characters are as flat as a ruler and completely ruled by their hormones.
Waverly: rotates between thinking about Kieran, Seth and Jared. When 1 of them annoys her, she starts missing the other ??? That whole 'romance' plot with Jared was just disgusting. I thought he was another stupid teenager making heart eyes at Waverly but no, he is a full ass grown adult (40+) and just being a pedophile?? and Waverly finding him attractive was annoying but became problematic when his age was revealed. And the scene where he sexually assaulted Waverly was just ignored. nice.
Seth and Kieran: i am struggling to think of 1 useful thing they did and failing.
Seth is really stupid, he was a fugitive and all he did was spray graffiti, how life changing!!
Kieran: making heart eyes at Felicity because ..... i have no idea why.
how convenient that Kieran has to go back to the enemy ship so he can have 5 children with Felicity (i LMAO, guess they do not have condoms on spaceships) and Waverly get to have her happy ending with Seth.
Thank you, NEXT
