A review by raxhelmaloney
War Hour by Lauren Loscig
2.0
Full disclosure, I was selected to receive an ARC.
I thought the concept of this book was very interesting and was what initially compelled me to give it a read through. And while I enjoyed the plot and liked the characters, I can’t help but feel there were pieces missing.
I feel like this could’ve benefited from further development, more time with these characters in scenes that explore their characters and the world around them, not solely for the advancement of plot. Also I needed more descriptors! I have zero thoughts in my head for how anything looked, felt, smelled, sounded, etc., I want to be encapsulated by the “vibe” of the book.
Overall though, this was an enjoyable enough read as I haven’t engaged much with YA fantasy as of late, but it left more to be desired. Congratulations on your debut Lauren, excited to see what is to come in your future.
