A review by halfbloodcity
Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
3.0
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I have been wanting this book ever since I read the first one in 2017, however, in the end, it fell short of my expectations.
The writing, although easy to read, at some points felt really repetitive. I also feel like the dialogues became very unrealistic and philosophical, especially for teenagers.
the first 2 thirds of the book were very slow-paced and I was starting to feel like nothing was really going to happen. I really enjoyed the last third of the book but the ending was underwhelming and made it felt like it ended too soon.
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I ended it feeling disappointed as the ending just left me feeling that it was missing something more.
