A review by sarcrawsh
Forged, by Erin Bowman
3.0
This book was good. Bowman is pretty ruthless for a YA author, and a number of important characters are killed off. Still very reminiscent of The Hunger Games, particularly with Grey as the reluctant symbol of the revolution.
Emma is the character I wound up liking the least. I never liked her and Grey together but I thought they would be good as friends. Her anger when Grey chooses his TWIN BROTHER over her is way over the top. Obviously she would be hurt and upset. But how could any shred of her actually believe she was more important than his TWIN BROTHER? Even if she was his girlfriend at the time - and she was far from being that - I would think a reasonable human being would understand his choice. Particularly as he grieves after that choice backfires.
