A review by tabatha_shipley
Cynetic Wolf by Matt Ward
3.0
What I Did Like:
-Back history without boring us with dry stories. The author here did a good job of weaving the back history into the introduction without making it dull. We get a sense of the world that the kids are living in and things that are different, but we aren’t getting a history lesson.
-Action scenes are well written. You get a clear picture of what’s going on.
-Lives lost on both sides of war, which is realistic. You can’t expect to go into a giant war and have everyone come out unscathed. I like that this author knew that wasn’t going to happen.
Who Should Read This One:
-Reluctant hero fans who are interested in seeing how that trope plays out in a science fiction type format.
-Action fans, specifically those who are interested in futuristic worlds with half-animal hybrids.
My Rating: 3 stars. This one was tough to rate because it would be problematic for a YA science fiction. But I think it’s going to please adult action fans. If you like your books heavy on the action with a side of science fiction, this one might please you. That makes this a rather niche book, 3 stars.
