Secondborn
by Amy A. Bartol
This book was a bit hit and miss.
I liked the premise and the world building. Although, Bartol does not explain the reasoning behind the treatment of secondborns.
I did like Roselle as a character, most of the time. It's a shame to see Bartol use her own character to push through unnecessary parts of the plot, such as the romance aspect of the plot. The insta-love ruined what could have been a really good slow burn romance. There is one really bizarrely written romance scene in this book.
Hawthorne began as an interesting character but very quickly became bland with no personality.
Due to the actual plot surrounding Roselle being really interesting, I will likely read the sequel.
