kaymariko 's review for:
Secondborn
by Amy A. Bartol
Actual rating: 1.25 ⭐️
I wish I could attribute how much I didn’t enjoy this to maybe having outgrown YA, but I think there were too many disappointing aspects to overlook.
The writing itself has potential; it’s quite honestly the strongest aspect of this book. However, between the world, characters and plot, it doesn’t feel like there’s actual substance — the writing “looks” nice and paints a pretty picture, but there’s nothing truly memorable or evoking otherwise (unless frustration counts).
Would I read something else by this author? Probably.
Is it going to be from this series? Hard no.
