Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim
3.0
So I’ve never read or seen The Count of Monte Cristo so I don’t know how close to the story this was. BUT what I can tell you is that since that book/movie is so popular I’m going to say that it was probably actually good and not mediocre like this book was.
The beginning of the story was really intriguing and I thought it was really well written. Once I got to page 200 ish I just started to get bored. So I tried to finish it as quickly as possible hoping for a little resolution and to be completely honest I didn’t get much. I know this is a duology and the whole point is to get you to read book 2 but to not tie up a single string and to leave me utterly confused on what is going on just doesn’t make me want to pick the next book up. And things started to feel as if they were thrown into the story as tie ins without actually thought out behind them. Ex: Roach and Ash fever
It was slow, mediocre, and confusing. Another not great read from an Owlcrate
