The plot was really good, and I really enjoyed it. I had a hard time reading because of the writing style~ for a good bit I was wondering if they forgot the quotation marks every time someone spoke because they didn’t use them once the whole book, even when someone was speaking. Nah fam that may just be how the author writes, and it makes it harder to tell what exactly each character is saying, for me. That’s just me though! Others may really enjoy this writing style! ^^

Also wanted to add, it low key felt like the story ended in a cliffhanger, which, kinda sucked? I wanted to know

if the main character made it to the border and reunited with her baby and girlfriend???

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as The Water Cure. Unique and interesting plot but lacked a good execution. There was minimal world building and background, leaving me with too many unanswered questions-how did the lottery start? Why did they decide to hold the lottery? Who decided? How are the cities set up? Details about the trip to the cities? I think it would’ve been a better story if there was more background.

The characters were okay but there was a lack of depth and development. It was a quick read but could be boring at times especially in the middle. The ending had a good twist but left me unsatisfied.

Overall Blue Ticket has an interesting concept and makes you think but I wish it had more world building and didn’t leave me confused.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5)
