Took me awhile to read simply as I haven’t devoted much time to reading lately... but thoroughly enjoyed it! Will absolutely read the next in the series.

I actually liked the book until I realized it was a robot battler and my interest plummeted. I never played Pokémon so I don’t have nostalgia keeping me invested.

I need a Baku! Jinx was sassy and wonderful, and definitely my favourite character.
I did really like Lacey and how good she was at companioneering, she was awesome. I less liked her suddenly being a dizzy muppet over a boy, but other than that her character was fab and really worked for me.
I got proper protective over the bakus in battle, my babies!!
I definitely need to know more about Lacey’s dad and also about Monica too. There’s so much intrigue there and not enough information!! I loved the bright shiny ness of Moncha with its secretive overtones haha. Love a conspiracy theory.
Both my favourite bit and my least favourite bit is the ending. The last 100 pages or so are the BEST - no romancey bits, loads of action and reveals, excellent! But how could it finish there?! Omg. I’m not even joking, I docked half a star for stopping just as I was dying for more! I do think I’d have liked a little more before finishing, and it would still make a good end point to lead to a sequel.
Overall a very strong and fun book, with awesome Pokemon like vibes. :)

When I was reading this book, all I could think of was "Wow, I want to live in that world." ❤
I am also a HUGE animal lover, so I thought it was very cool how Amy McCulloch added animals into the book

Ik hou van Young Adult boeken en van Science Fiction en katten en Jinxed heeft dit allemaal. Ik ben gek op futuristische boeken en daarom moest ik dit boek lezen. Jinxed zet een wereld neer waarin we geen smartphones meer nodig hebben, we hebben allemaal onze eigen BAKU waarmee we alles kunnen doen wat we nodig hebben en nog wel meer. Lacey woont in een stad wat geleid wordt door een bedrijf, Moncha. Het bedrijf dat de BAKU heeft uitgevonden en waar Lacey heel graag wil gaan werken. Ze kan hier alleen maar werken als ze naar de elitaire privéschool Profectus gaat. Amy neemt je mee de stad door, de school rond en de wereld van de BAKU in. Het verhaal is eigentijds, spannend en misschien soms een tikkeltje cliché. Ik heb in ieder geval genoten van dit boek en ben helemaal gek op Jinx. Ik ben benieuwd wat de wereld van de BAKU’s ons verder zal gaan brengen. Ook zou ik het prachtig vinden om mijn eigen BAKU te hebben, misschien een maki?
