Isoldesse by Kimberly Grymes

3.0

I both loved and was frustrated reading this book. I absolutely loved that this book was so different and new compared to other YA fantasy/sci-fi books, but I think some of it fell short for me.

Isoldesse had an extremely interesting plot and such a unique idea behind the whole story in general, but I just felt like there was something...off with the characters. It was really hard to grasp their personalities and I felt like the conversations and attitudes the characters had were really a lot younger than they were written for - felt like 13-14 year olds instead of college age. This really brought the story down for me, and was disappointing.

Thank you NetGalley and author for providing the ARC of this book.
