Gregor and the Code of Claw by Suzanne Collins

adventurous dark sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I don’t even know how to feel about this series. The first one is tolerably a kids book, albeit fairly dark and emotional, and then the series just continually doubles down on a traumatizing horrors of war story about LITTLE KIDS! If I had read this when I was the target age group, I would be even LESS okay than I am now!  What the hell, Suzanne Collins??! Hunger Games was one thing, but WHAT IS YOUR DAMAGE?? The series is very well-written and effective though. The better to emotionally destroy you.
