Characters- 3.5/5*
They were interesting characters. Obviously the author put a lot of thought into creating them.
This is the category I really have problems with. Don’t get me wrong the plot was engaging but the story structure was off. It felt like too much exposition but at the same time too little. It felt like there were 5 different climaxes. At one point I even thought the book must be basically over and then it felt like we went into book 2.
It seems interesting but I want more details. This was a key part of the exposition that I felt was lacking. They told us about a bunch of locations but didn’t describe them. I don’t need Scott Fitzgerald but I would like some description to build my world view.
That’s what draws me to keep reading. The heart of this book is its theme. Bringing up this topic of what differences make you inferior vs superior. I think it’s a really interesting was the author brings it up with silver blood and red blood. Hopefully they Connie to build on it on the second book.
I would recommend this look to anyone who loves dystopian and fantasy.
