A review by heathersnerdyworld
Map of Fates by Maggie Hall
3.0
At first I couldn't quite put my finger on what made me like this book but not love it. Then I realized it's Avery. While she grows as a character, I didn't enjoy reading about her as much as I enjoyed getting to know the other characters and their backstories. More specifically Jack and Stellan - who I both adore.
And while we did get to travel to new places, there was little to describe many of these locations. I felt like the characters could have been in any city/museum anywhere in the world. Though Venice and Kolkata where developed decently.
It was a fun and light read for the most part, and I'm interested to see where Maggie Hall takes the story next as the plot has taken a very different turn from the path that it was currently on.
And I hope that Avery doesn't flip flop between the boys too much during the next book - a weak point for far too many YA novels that could have been so much better without the useless "but who should I pick" "turmoil" for 3/4 of a series. I hope the focus is on what the characters need to do to save everyone and not the love triangle.
