Another Faust by Dina Nayeri, Daniel Nayeri

3.0

Five teenagers show up as new students at an ultra-exclusive private school. Each is talented. Each is cursed. Almost all have sold their souls in effect to barter for what they want. The name of the book says outright the premise it is based on. The characters are wooden and unappealing. None of the them caught me and the dialogue felt stilted and forced. The pace was at times painfully slow and then the novel would speed up in jerks. So much of the plot was contrived and unbelievable. Definitely not one of the better YA novels out there. I doubt I'll read anything else by these authors.
