Lore
by Alexandra Bracken
Probably more a 3.5 than a 3 - I need my half-star ratings! This was a really interesting standalone fantasy and I was definitely intrigued by the premise... I just found that I didn't connect with the way it was written, or the characters, as much as I'd have liked to. There was one or two particularly oddly written scenes towards the end that I just struggled with.
There is a fair bit of violence here, but none of it felt excessively graphic or unnecessary. This is still a book I can definitely recommend to YA readers - I just won't be gushing about it.
Things I did like: Miles, plot twists, how Bracken wove Ancient Greece into modern NY, that cover!
Things I didn't like: the society, sexual predators, the general ickiness of many side-characters.
