The 100 Boxed Set by Kass Morgan
1.0
It’s a sad moment when I have to give a book, 1 Star. What’s even worse is the show, “The 100” is one of my favorites!
I’m in shock the show was spawned from this book. Extremely boring and slow paced. Normally the book is supposed to surpass the show, but that was not the case here. Of course I love the idea behind the book.... but this was so lack luster.
If you’ve seen the show, and are interested in reading the books for comparison... I say HARD PASS!
Do not recommend.
The characters were bland... the book was confusing when it tried to switch back and forth between timelines. Also, it had the perspective from 4 characters which is fine.... yet it was all so bland and dry. I realize why in the show one of these characters was left out. “Her” part was extremely unnecessary in the book, yet I guess it was trying to show how they live in space... and the rules... but still unnecessary.
All my love for the show, but no love for the book.
