THE FATES DIVIDE was a book I pushed myself through. It just felt too scattered, like the plot didn’t have a driving focus.

About the 40% mark, the “big twist” about the fates comes in, and it was pretty disappointing. There had been such a heavy presence of Akos’ fate in the first book, and in the build up to the twist. When it came, it felt like such a cop-out. I wanted it to be something clever or devastating in and non of that happened
