Silver Elite by Dani Francis
2.75
The pacing in this novel was so off- we would go chapters with very little action other than some repetitive steamy scenes but then huge plot points would be expressed in under two paragraphs, to the point where I had to double take and verify that was how she chose to represent that.
The dystopian elements seems pretty loosely allegorical, other than some vague themes of empire and discrimination themes I couldn't garner much out of this other than a vaguely liberal anti-totalitarian politic. I could tell it was vaguely aspiring to Suzanne Collins without the thematic chops to back it up. The actual world/ military aspect was pretty enjoyable and I felt the characters had a genuine connection even if it did seem a little to overly appearance-centric. Overall it was an easy read with sustained action, but I wish it had been more polished.
