From Gods by Mary Ting
1.0
Here's what I don't quite understand about this book, and the reviews on it.
HOW AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HATED THIS THING????
I scrolled quickly through the reviews, to see if anyone else rated this low, but it turns out there's only one review at the very bottom, and I'm pretty sure that was a 2 star rating because this "wasn't their cup of tea."
I'm a little livid.
This book had so much potential. I love mythology stories, and this one had all the makings for an awesome one.
I had one problem: EVERYTHING.
1. Skylar. Really? Really. She's horrendous. She's boring and lame and petty and who thinks about such stupid things? Her house was broken into and all she could think about was Mason. She almost drowned and all she could think about was Mason. Mason Mason MASON. First of all, girl, Mason isn't great (in this rant I'll actually complain about him, so he's my #2 problem). He impersonated a cop (which is against the law if anyone was curious...), he lied to her about who he was, tried to pretend nothing was going on, lied to her again, left her unconscious on the beach, was a jerk to her, lied to her, oh wait, and I think there was one more thing? He lied. There we go.
2. Kayla. You're a shitty cousin.
3. TEENAGERS. DO. NOT. TALK. LIKE. THIS. You know what? Humans don't talk like this. No one in this book spoke like a regular person. the conversations were so stilted and awkward I was CRINGING. Why couldn't they seem to have normal conversations? Why was everything so lame and hokey?
WHY DOES THIS WHOLE BOOK SUCK SO BAD? If I could, I'd rate this -5 stars.
