Scar by Alice Broadway
3.0
3.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨.
So. it was an actually good book I just had a few things bothering me and Things I loved.
So the bad things... There was a conflict with that happened and got resolved really fast like it was it really necessary? I don't see how it made much sense and the dialogue in that scene seemed forced and fake. another point is the romance, I don't think that those characters spent enough time getting to know each other from the beginning it was obvious what would happen because the hints were extremely obvious. I also think there were a few dead plot points. I felt the end was rushed and could have used some more leading up to the actual events, the whole book was quasi done in a heartbeat.
so now the good parts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of the story itself, all the worldbuilding is incredible and the culture the author created is really interesting and I find it funny telling it to more conservative people how the dead are handled, yes, from our standards it is morbid but I could totally see the reasoning the people in this story had to believe what they did. The stories in the book were also beautiful and how there were two sides to each of them. I liked the emotion, it was well described, I gasped, smiled, grinned and even cried once. I also like some short paragraphs that seemed like poetry in the book. The pace was good in my opinion but the end was a bit rushed like I said.
So it is a short book and definitely worth a read if you like the idea of it.
