TRUEL1F3
by Jay Kristoff
Thank you to the publisher for an eARC. All opinions are my own!
GREAT BOOK.
I’m so excited I received an eARC of this book because I have been anxiously awaiting the finale. It was stellar.
So much happened in this book y’all. Sooooo much. I was amazed at how much was fit into a book less than 500 pages. A ton of action, changes in point-of-view and locations, drama, it’s all there. At times I thought there was no way that everything could be wrapped up properly. I was happily surprised that everything did! I don’t remember having any major plot holes that weren’t filled or questions answered. I got the ending I was after, which is always a good sign.
I love that this series really transferred to being about Lemon Fresh. I loved her as a heroine. Sassy and fiery with incredible amounts of bravery and resilience. It was fantastic and fit into the young adult category well. I enjoyed getting to know many new characters and getting a lot of POVs. I like seeing all sides to the story and this really helped create that scenario.
Even characters I had a hard time loving [Eve and Preacher] to name a few had some redeeming moments throughout. I was impressed with the writing and would expect nothing less from Kristoff. I continue to return to his books because of all the emotional entanglements I find myself in and the way I can’t help but cheer for the characters.
There’s quite a bit of philosophical questions that come up while reading and I love the discussions that could arise from reading this series. I appreciated the way the story was able to open my mind to new thoughts and concerns.
Overall audience notes:
- Young adult sci-fi / dystopia
- Language: a moderate amount
- Romance: kisses; a closed door scene that is hardly mentioned
- Violence: guns, explosions, poison, physical
- Trigger warning: a brief suicide scene with method
