A review by jmmeyer
Silence by Michelle Sagara

1.0

I just couldn't force myself through this one. If it were on audio and I was working out to it then maybe but reading, not happening. I keep avoiding reading it so I'm just done. Maybe I'll revisit this because it's a cool idea but I don't know. Sagara's writing bugs me. It feels overworked. Her characters don't feel like real teenagers either, they feel like an adult trying to make them teenagers.

There is an autistic character who I rather liked and he kept me reading longer than I might have otherwise. I mean, true, I don't like not finishing books but I'm in a strange mood and if I don't like it I'm not forcing it...there are too many books to read for me to try so hard on a book that isn't a nonfiction piece that will leave me more informed.

Beautiful cover, cool concepts, sexy guys, and interesting nicknames but writing that makes me grind my teeth. A no go for me.
