A review by threeseagrass
Heartless by Leah Rhyne
2.0
There was absolutely nothing new or exciting about [b: Heartless|18584855|Heartless|Marissa Meyer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1452662521s/18584855.jpg|26322524]. It took me so long to get through the book simply because I didn't want to continue reading.
Jo and Lucy were, to me, rather one-dimensional characters with rich parents. I guess they had a nice friendship in the sense that they are supportive of one another and there is no slut-shaming, but otherwise I just felt kind of lack luster about the whole thing.
But by far the worst part was the plot, if you can even call it that. It's quite clear from the very beginning who the bad guys are. I guessed as soon as they came onto the scene, within the first few chapters. This made for a boring and frustrating read. There were so man obvious clues that were overlooked that it was infuriating. Every single protagonist in this book was TSTL. I was just impatient to get to the end.
Speaking of the ending, there's a nice little set up for a sequel that I also didn't appreciate.. I will not be continuing with this series.

Spoiler
It seems strange to me that the author would kill the main character and then have her friend write a letter promising to end the organization that got them into this mess. Unless of course, Jo conveniently comes back to life in the sequelAn free review copy was provided by Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review
