Into the Bright Unknown by Rae Carson
3.0
AYO IM WRITING THIS ON MY PHONE AND HAVE NOT BLOCKED OUT SPOILERS SO READ AT YOUR OWN WILL OK? OK
This series honestly could've ended as a duology because the last book.... didn't really make sense.... I liked it but... it was kinda unneeded.
So this story picks off back in Glory once all the folks finally get settled after dealing with Hiram. Then they find out the person above Hiram who funded his mining project isn't keeping his end of the deal... in the end of the second book he seems like every other rich business man who, if they got their money, would keep up their end of the bargain.
But the author was like "sike! You thought we were done with the rich?! Never!" And cue the Billionaire stealing all of San Francisco land (and Becky's baby daddy's house).
The Billionaire (ill refer to him as such because.... i cant remember his name) seemed like such a rushed villian who just stole to steal... which is like... fine I guess but at least with Hiram he had a motive... NOT TO MENTION FRANK... HOW DID THAT MF SURVIVE BURING ALIVE LIKE WHAT
Moving onto other issues.... I did like the further exploration of societal issues in this book as it went somewhat into more detail if women's right (meaning zero, zilch, nada) and the treatment of minorities, focusing on black people. Jim's character was a nice suprise return and I like how he pointed out Leah's hypocrisy at times but it wasn't out of malice but simply because she was an ignorant 16/17 year old... and a white woman... Also how in df did the man get shot in one clip and then live to tell the tale in the next clip... like what kinda Naruto sheet is that.
Overall this book felt very rushed in plot and lackluster in villans and character growth as the author introduced more characters rather than developing the ones she already had *cough* Tom *cough* but I did enjoy it and was happy to see the couples I was routing for work out all in the end.
Overall rating: 3.5
