Burn Down, Rise Up
by Vincent Tirado
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
The start and the idea were overall great: I really liked that game / challenge we can find online, and how it turned into horror like some creepy pasta stories. I also liked how it was involved with Bronx's history, it was also really interesting to read about.
But the more I read the more Raquel was getting on my nerves with her reactions and how she couldn't stop to think. There were so many holes in the story and no true explanation on some stuff even towards the end. The romance seems to be put there to make it sapphic, and there were a lack of character's depth for each one of them.
So in the ends, I liked the idea itself and the horror side of the story, but everything else put down my rating a lot due to the characters and the story's execution were meh...
