Na época em que li lembro de não ter odiado, mas também não amei, foi bem mediano para mim.

1.0

Definitely an intriguing concept, but it was soundly ruined by the heavy-handed writing and the veritable charcuterie board of tropes. Mare was boring and inconsistent at best; Cal was bland; and Maven was the worst of all because I thought he actually had the potential to be minimally interesting.
The best character was Lucas, and he got killed off in the most offensively nonchalant way. I’m most seriously displeased about that.

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: N/A

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The plot itself is intriguing and unique, it is a good fantasy book for young adults. Overall the author does a good job in keeping the readers attention throughout the story. The main character, Mare, can come across a bit annoying and selfish but considering the world the story is based in and the fact that she is a teenager it is understandable. The book does have a "love-triangle" that is a but forced in my opinion, the story would have been better off without it and in place the author could have focused on Mares self-development and growth.
