Fever by Lauren DeStefano
2.0
Fever, like the first book, Wither, is simply... ok. The plot is still enjoyable, the characters still one-dimensional and somewhat boring, just overall meh. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. HOWEVER, the science used (or lack of) still gets on my nerves...
Science doesn't cater to a specific age, and it still baffles me that people in this universe die at an EXACT, PRECISE age. If anything, it would have been 18-22 for girls, and 22-27 for guys. Also, why is the age limit different for girls than for boys? This was not explained.
Also, how is it that North America still only exists without Earth being thrown off its axis?
I don't know guys, I'd love to love this book, but the characters (especially Gabriel) are just so flat and boring. The only characters I actually care about are Silas, Linden, and Cecily. It's just plain sad that I have NO INTEREST IN THE MAIN CHARACTER WHATSOEVER.
However, while Lauren DeStefano's writing style may be enjoyable and beautiful to some, I found it rather annoying, but that's just my preference.
However, thanks to that amazing cliffhanger, I will be buying the last book, Sever.
