Until the Beginning by Amy Plum
3.0
RATING: 5.7/10
Well yeah I liked it!
It took me quite a bit of time to finish this book, but I quite liked it! What i thought was lowkey annoying was that the book was very long, especially for events that seemed to transpire over a week and a half. I wish that the beginning half of the book moved faster, because it did take a lot of effort to get through.
I do think that character development of Miles and Juneau was done beautifully. It made me feel as though I was beginning to know them personally, as a friend. I loved how Juneau's strength and immovability became vulnerable, but even more potent. i loved how miles went from a stuck up rich kid who didn't know jack shit became a fierce fighter. i loved how their stories gained so much more depth and intrigue.
Overall i'd say that the beginning half of the book really made me contemplate giving up, but I'm glad I stayed, because the ending, action packed and dramatic as it was, really managed to provide the book with appropriate closure and happiness.
