A review by stjehanne
S.T.A.G.S by M.A. Bennett
2.0
Predictable and very on-the-nose. This book obviously tries to comment on social hierarchies and their implications but does so without any nuance or depth.
Characters are as flat as they can be, which results in them being quite comical. Basically, the entire cast consists of caricatures.
Greer also has this rather unfortunate gimmick that forces her to constantly compare the events around her to random films. It’s cute the first couple of times but when she starts ranting about some mediocre movie while something actually tense and interesting is supposed to happen, you learn to hate it quite quickly.
