Defy the Worlds by Claudia Gray
2.0
I’m a huge Claudia Gray fan but this book disappoints me so much. The minor characters and antagonists are so terribly single dimensional that they are frustrating. From the elder council to the rebel group and the wealthy power class. To hear them monologue or make horrible decision based on over simplified belief systems is incredibly painful. Even our two main protagonists are basic and underwhelming in book 2.
Mansfield and his ilk are over-simplified classists who have built an unwavering almost religion on meritocracy and power. They are insane in their lack of empathy.
Genesis leader are black and white defeatists and I can’t believe they didn’t loose the war decades ago with how often they tried to destroy themselves or give up all the while disparaging any free thought and ingenuity to survive.
There is no in between only extreme in this book and it feels forced and undermines the novels narrative at every turn.
