Nabigo sa istilo ng pagsulat? Oo.

'Avenues of the Diamond' ay ang pang-apat na libro ng author, kaya marami akong inaasahan dito. GUSTO ko ang istilo ng pagsulat ni Gwy sa kanyang 1st to 3rd book. Gayunpaman, sa ika-4 na ito, tila flat ito. Inabot ako ng isang araw para matapos ang tatlong aklat ng University series, habang umabot ito ng apat na araw dahil medyo nainip ako.

Naka-survive ito ng 3.75 stars dahil gusto ko ang karakter ni Sam. kumonekta ako sa kanya. Ang pagiging hindi makasarili. Kung paano si Sam ay mag-overthink sa bawat aksyon at salitang masasabi dahil ang bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang problema na hindi natin alam. Hindi siya humihingi ng tulong dahil doon, at masakit sa akin kung gaano ako kumonekta sa kanya; kapag lagi siyang nandyan para sa iba pero tumanggi na bigyan ang mga nagmamalasakit sa kanya na tulungan siya. Tama ang sinabi ni Clyden na hindi dapat ang paghingi ng tulong ay bagay na dapat ikahiya (Sinusubukan ko talaga pigilan ang aking mga luha para sa isang tiyak na karakter). Ang aklat na ito kahit papaano ay nakaligtas sa tatlong stars dahil sa kung ano ang matututuhan o makukuha mo sa pagbabasa nito.

Disappointed by the writing style? Yes.

'Avenues of the Diamond' is the author's fourth book, so I expected a lot on this. I LOVED the writing style of Gwy in her 1st to 3rd book. However, in this 4th one, it seemed to be flat. The 3 University series book took me a day to finish, while this took me four days because I got a little bored.

It survived 3.75 stars because I like Sam's character. I connect with her. The selflessness. How Sam tends to overthink every actions and word to say because everyone has their own problems that we don't know of. She doesn't ask for help because of that, and it hurts me how much I connect with her; when she was always there for others but refused to give those who care about her to help her. Clyden was right when he said that asking for help shouldn't be something to be embarrassed about (I'm really trying to stop my tears for a certain character). This book somehow survived three stars because of what you can learn or gain from reading this.
