Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon
2.0
Listening to this while starting an ARC where the characters spoke in an Irish accent (or at least they do in your head) while the characters sometimes break into an accent on your audio was not ideal for me. I will admit that I had no idea what this book would be about when I first got it. There was this audible sale on first books in a series and I went crazy. So, yeah, that's how I got this book and I decided that today was the day that I should dive into it.
Carrier of the Mark was an okay book. Nothing really stuck out to me but I did end up enjoying it. In it, you will meet Megan and Adam and they were eh, aiight characters. Towards the end I didn't really care what happened to them but before all that - I liked them.
Megan is your typical American teenage girl. Beautiful girl who ends up being marked after her mother's untimely death. During her first day of school, she can't help but fall instantly in love with sweet Adam. Oh Adam.. the mysterious guy who is in every YA book. The one that will somehow change when he meets the love of his life or ya know.. sweep that person off of their feet. He was okay, a bit better than Megan, but nothing special either.
These two and their romance were a bit nauseating. I don't really understand the need to be so freaking dependent on someone but then again, it's me. I'm a very independent person so it was just sort of rubbing me the wrong way. I was hoping that these two and their relationship were going to go down a different path but no, they didn't.
Other than that, I feel like not a lot happened in this book which is beyond weird. I mean, I spent like 8 hours (but not really because I was feeling that 3x speed) of my life listening to this book and at the end I'm like, cool - next book please. The beginning sucked me in and then the rest of the book fell flat.
I might dive into the next book if it's free. I might not.
