Plague by Michael Grant
4.0
My initial reaction to the happenings in this book was probably:
but at some point I got used to it.
To be honest, I actually did like this one a lot. Still more than [b: Gone|19288043|Gone Girl|Gillian Flynn|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1397056917s/19288043.jpg|13306276] and [b: Hunger|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775] but not quite as much as [b: Lies|17286747|Necessary Lies (Necessary Lies, #1)|Diane Chamberlain|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1362226103s/17286747.jpg|23845712]
And that has a reason.
There was quite a big, very big fantastical element to this. Not that there never was any fantastical element to it in the first place, but in this book, it just felt a bit too extreme. I mean, not enough to not give it 4 stars still, but enough to not give it 5 stars.
I am just a person that likes realism. And if it's fantasy, those fantastical elements must be true to their own rules. And while the Gone series isn't exactly breaking those rules, every book, I feel like, other fantastical elements are added. And while I am not hating it, I am also not necessarily digging it.
However, that is my only complaint.
I loved Astrids storyline in this book.
And Dianas.
Those were the most interesting ones to me. Not by far, but still. I was so in awe of Dark Astrid that I just couldn't really put that book down after that one chapter.
Diana... Same with her. I love her character development and her story overall is great.
Everyone else is at least interesting enough to keep reading.
And I can't wait to finish [b: Fear|7745|Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas|Hunter S. Thompson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1394204569s/7745.jpg|1309111].
