Firstlife by Gena Showalter
4.0
I really enjoyed the premise. The idea that your Firstlife has the potential to impact your Secondlife/Everlife is something I find really appealing.
The two factions to choose from; Myriad and Troika... those I didn't like as much.
Too easily you can lump them into a good and bad - they're essentially light and darkness.
I just wanted there to be a bit more to each than what was hinted at through the various characters.
Initially I thought that Ten was going to be a pretty stock standard Mary Sue style teen lead but she definitely has depth to her. In regards to choosing between two boys trying to get her to sign with their faction she's still a standard YA character. It was the non-romance bits that I wanted more of. I wanted more of Many Ends and more of the information about the world.
I'm looking forward to the next one!
