A review by magicalglimpses_
The Secret City by C.J. Daugherty, Carina Rozenfeld

2.0

2.5/5
I just don’t know how to review this one...
The first book is not very good tbh, but it does have sentimental value to me for a few different reasons.
So I just decided I’ll read the second. And... I’m not happy.
Here the thing, I really love the story idea. I really do. But it’s done so poorly and in this annoying way. And it doesn’t get to the story’s potential.
I think Taylor is just an annoying “cliche” kind of a character.
While reading it I realized how basic the writing is.
Tbh I think the ending was done pretty good, wasn’t disappointed about that, it was a cool ending.
I read it with my best friend so here are some things she told me she thought about the book:
-the whole book felt like a draft, and not the finished edited product (we’re both writers lol)
-it doesn’t feel like we’re really getting into Sacha’s head. All we get from his chapters is that he’s scared something will happen to Taylor
