dr_dumpling 's review for:
Passion
by Lauren Kate
More of a 2.5 rating
The historical elements in this novel were actually quite intriguing and sounded very well-researched. Each of Luce's past lives was amazingly lifelike and richly detailed, although I could have done without all the scenery description. So why is my rating so low? Frankly, Luce came across as REALLY childish, indecisive, petulant--to me, she acted nothing like sixteen or seventeen or however old she is; Daniel wasn't much more interesting although it was nice to finally understand his and Luce's curse. Lastly, the plot was EXTREMELY repetitive and the big twist near the end of the novel wasn't even that surprising.
