A review by ameyawarde
Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace

3.0

I really loved the beginning of this. It felt very different to any other YA book I've read, and the originality was exciting. However, I feel like the further I got into it, the less interesting it got, and parts felt too rushed. Normally I race to review things right after I read them, but I let this one sit with me overnight to try to figure it out. I *do* like it, but not as much as I thought I would in the beginning... but at the same time, it still gets big points for originality.. and for what I thought would be the plot twist *didn't* happen (and I don't often get tricked by authors, so kudos).. it's just.. ahhh. There are a few things I'd change, and I didn't like how we never learned how the archivist position got involved with the fight to the death or a few other things I wont mention bc of spoilers.

Basically, I did like this book, and I very much loved the originality of several parts.
