Gifted
by Kora Greenwood
I desperately wanted to like this book. I truly did. I found Kora's tiktok and thought this was going to be great and take me back to the time when dystopians were actually the popular book type.... unfortunately it had some problems that I think come with just a lack of practice and maybe not having the most honest support during the writing process.
I wish the conflict started earlier in the book and was clear in its complexities rather than being complex because it was confusing. I wish there was more time actually interacting with the characters rather than just telling us how they are and what their relationships look like. I wish the relationships felt genuine... the only that felt real were Arin and her parents...
I had such high hopes. I think maybe the 3rd or 4th book that Kora puts out will be great. Just some time for development is going to be needed.
