Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano

3.0

Okay I am a big fan of Lauren DeStefano. Her Wither series was a really interesting concept. As is the world she creates in Perfect Ruin. My problem with this novel is twofold, one that the main character Morgan is incredibly self-centered and cares little for her friend Penn or her betrothed Basil. Secondly, the plot, at least for me, fell apart after the second half. There was no need to involve the Prince and Princess in the story and furthermore they aren't well made characters. While the reader is supposed to wonder about their motivations, I find myself groaning at how little their characters are developed. Neither their behavior nor their motivations make any sense.
