Scout's Honor by Lily Anderson

shaunie991's review

4.0

What a fun, unique read! The whole time, I envisioned this book as a graphic novel. That would be killer (pun intended)! The characters are relatively well developed and likeable, and the disgusting creatures are well described. Although this is a dystopian read, it wasn’t incredibly difficult to believe, which is great.

I had a great time listening to this ALC and would definitely listen to the follow-up if the author decides to write one. I would recommend this book to any lover of YA fiction and dystopia.


(ALC received from NetGalley in exchange for honest review. Thank you!)

It took me a while to get into this one. (I started reading it two months ago!) It was hard not to compare it to [b:The Babysitters Coven|38856385|The Babysitters Coven (The Babysitters Coven, #1)|Kate Williams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549996372l/38856385._SY75_.jpg|60417414] because that was my expectation. Unlike Williams, Anderson struggles with finding the right tone for this book. The author also spends a lot of time in redundant world-building that detracts from the plot and affects the pacing. When I finished it yesterday I was okay with the climax, but I didn't love the ending enough to redeem the first 300 pages or so.

I thank the publisher for an advanced copy of the audiobook. The narrator did a nice job bringing these characters to life.

Overall, another paranormal smash hit from Lily Anderson.
 
 I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

Campy fun with real talk about PTSD, grief, and the surrounding stigmas. PG romance + some innuendo, which is refreshing in today's YA landscape.
