Stray by Elissa Sussman
2.0
When I got a copy of Stray from Harper Collins for review, I was immediately excited because it sounded like a fairytale story, what with being from a royal family and the fairy godmothers and all. But boy was I wrong! Clearly, Stray is different and definitely much darker in a sense.
When I started reading the book, it seemed so interesting and full of potential, yet as I read on, I slowly became more and more disappointed. There was not enough world building. Clearly, for the main character everything was an every day occurrence, but it seemed like the author forgot that the readers know nothing about that world. I was confused numerous times, and I had a hard time figuring out what was happening. It's like the plot was not clearly thought of and the ideas were scattered.
Mainly, those were the only problems I had. Despite those though, I couldn't help but want to find out more because I was interested in the story. I just hope that the next book would be better, because the story is truly unique and I do believe that it has potential.
