mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The Legacies is, unfortunately, not Goodman’s strongest work, with its “twists” playing out fairly predictably. It touches lightly on social class issues, but overall stays firmly a shallow teen mystery.

    An ultra-elite club invite to a scholarship student? But who nominated her and why? What sins of the past, and current sins got her in? And who ends up dead, and why?

    I didn't know who was going to be the one who was dead until the reveal. However, I guessed the who killed them part. I also say other parts of the story coming, mostly revolving around the settlement. I did like how the past with Tori's mom intersected with the now and Tori's life. 

    However, most of the characters weren't very likable, which made the book a bit harder to enjoy. Though all the narrators were excellent!  

    It was overall a good thriller with lots of twists and turns.
