Ruined by Amy Tintera
4.0
I listened to the audiobook version of this and I think some of my issue was getting used to the voice actor.
I adored Reboot and Rebel and found that this was much slower paced than those books. The way that the Ruined were kept as some what of a secret with who they are and what they do being revealed slowly didn't work as well as it had in the previous books. I think that's mainly due to the setting, Reboot worked fine because it was set in our world so it was easy to identify with things that were happening even when it wasn't always clearly described.
Ruined being set in a fantasy world made that delay in description more confusing, and caused me to get a bit frustrated and just wanting to know what the Ruined were already!
Otherwise the story was a bit predictable, but well written and cute. I fell in love with Caz pretty quickly which was nice because I thought I was going to be annoyed with him.
The somewhat cliff hanger was disappointing, but that's more personal preference because I dislike cliffhangers.
All told, I enjoyed this book, but I don't think it's as good as her previous ones.
