hollyempey 's review for:
If I Should Die
by Amy Plum
Quick Reflections:
TOTALLY NAILED that Vincent would find a new body. Just didn't think they would literally make a new body... out of clay... soaked in Jules blood... set on fire...
NAILED that she would be the Champion.
So... what was with the lame ending? It was sort of flat.
Speaking of flat... I felt that the flow was off. Like, there was always SO MUCH going on, so many "HOLYCRAP,THISISSOSERIOUSWHATAREWEGOINGTODO!?!" moments one after another, and they weren't ever spaced out. Since there was so much going on, you weren't even sure where the climax was-- there might have been a lot of serious-like situations going, but since there weren't any dips and valleys in storyline, it really plateued. And then it just stopped. I was disappointed.
So was it just me, or did it seem like there was some setting-up-for-spin-off-series going on? Or was that just the story not tying up?
Oh, and the cover was a fail. I mean, who picked that color? ...Yeah. Just fail.
(Every time I saw the title, I got that song stuck in my head, the "How am I supposed to breathe without air?" one. You know, "If I should die before I wake, it's cause you took my breath away..." I'm so sick of it, it's starting to make me laugh now.)
