Insignia by S.J. Kincaid

4.0

I didn’t know if I’d be able to enjoy reading a book written from the POV of a fourteen year old, but I actually really liked this book. Tom had his moments where I wanted to throttle him but he was a believable character and I liked him most of the time. The premise of the book managed to not come off as a complete mess of cliche and cheesiness, with enough action to keep me interested and a lot of comedic scenes as well. My favorite character by far was Vik, the Spicy Indian. Everyone who was a teenager was a believable one without being too obnoxious (mostly) and even all the time set in classrooms and training managed to be fun and engaging instead of boring me to death.

All around, hats off to Kincaid for this.
