The Beholder by Anna Bright
4.0

Overall I really enjoyed this book, hence the 4 stars! I got attached to some of these characters so much and really routed for some of the romances. However, it is very YA and therefore I felt the book lacked when it came to the world building. Having read the whole thing I’m still unsure as to how some things work, why things are the way they are because I don’t feel they were properly explained. Oh also, what is it with YA authors and deliberately picking names for people/places that you’re never meant to be able to pronounce/just look silly?

So yes, the world building wasn’t great and I still have some questions. But for a YA book I enjoyed this. It was really quick to read, the romance I got behind easily and it was just a good read. I’ll pick up the next one!
