pollyroth 's review for:

If I Should Die by Amy Plum
3.0

So at the end of the last book I was sad. I had never loved this series, and Vincent dying didn't absolutely kill me. But I felt totally bad for Kate. And because I knew her boyfriend had just died, I was worried she would become Bella in the second Twilight. Mopy, lifeless, and an utterly boring narrator. I want to go give her a high five for allowing herself one day of grief. ONLY ONE DAY! After her one day she actually gets up and does something. She goes headfirst into looking for a cure for Vincent. BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT THINGS DON'T HAPPEN IF YOU DON'T TRY! A lesson many many female characters need to learn when their love dies. *cough cough* Bella *cough cough*

As for the plot, we all saw it coming. It had been obvious since the first book that Kate
Spoiler was indeed the Champion, and was totally a Revenant. I mean seriously, the prophecy was way too easy for them to decipher. How the hell did they miss it?!
Other than that, there was no major plot twists, but it was interesting enough for me to keep reading. The ending was super sweet, but I seriously wish she had given us more. Like seriously, the last sentence does not sum up the book at all! It's super cheesy, like she actually didn't put any thought into it at all.

I think this book delivers what it promises without the cherries on top. The author could have been deeper and less direct, but all in all, a pretty good way to end a pretty good series.
