goodeyreads 's review for:
Hero at the Fall
by Alwyn Hamilton
*See extended review on my blog: https://motherreaderrunner.blogspot.com/
SOLID ENDING.
I'm leaning towards more of a 4.5 star rating as my husband said I didn't say it was AMAZING, just really good haha.
I felt the book dragged in sections, but I enjoy that Hamilton doesn't create super long descriptive sections that I find boring. I wish there was more of Jin & Amani throughout the book, but I'm not complaining with how it ended!
I knew there were factors in the book that would alter the ending, but I couldn't figure out exactly how the conflicts would resolve and while I'm distraught over some of the deaths, it still came to a good conclusion.
I love that Hamilton also adds chapters that are written from more of a 'story teller' perspective. Without being another POV it enables you to understand what happened in other portions of the desert without Amani being there.
I also would like to note that it is definitely YA, there's only one true 'love' scene and it's written appropriately for [somewhat] younger audiences and not in detail or anything (which I appreciate personally as well).
This series was great! I look forward to seeing what Hamilton writes next.
