Three Days Till Dawn by R.F. Hurteau

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Okay, I’m cool. I’m cool.
I fucking loved this book.
I have had so many disappointing reads that finding one that just gives me what I want is such a breath of fresh air that I can’t even describe it. Though this book is very much a Young Adult book and, for once, that is not to its detriment as others I have read. It knows its focus, it's not trying to be more. It just lets the story happen. Even with the wide cast of characters, it rarely loses the plot as each have their own part in the story to play. Though if I had to pick who the weakest POV character is, I would say it has to be Sylvia as I wasn’t really given enough to become invested in her and her part of the story. Her POV felt more like subtle plot setup which did pay off later as I understood why certain events happened with her. There are a few weak points where it feels like the underlying resistance to the Theran feels abruptly introduced but the plot itself is fast-paced and intriguing enough to carry it through.
The best way to describe the plot is anime as fuck. It’s like reading the first arc of a shonen series and it ends neatly wrapped yet at the same time plenty of questions to carry you over into the next book – which I will be reading.
Let’s be real though. The true reason you’re going to want this book is for the characters!
