jmkizer 's review for:

The Incendiaries by R.O. Kwon
2.0

Two stars. This was just not the book for me. I heard glowing reviews of this novel so I had high expectations. In the end, I found it disappointing. The plot was thin. The characters were undeveloped. The writing style was annoying (no quotes for dialog, no indication of timeline as things jumped back and forth). I just never could get myself to liking -- to caring about -- any of the characters. Reading this book was tedious and felt like an unpleasant homework assignment.
