emilyhays 's review for:
The Becoming of Noah Shaw
by Michelle Hodkin
good but not fantastic
This definitely wasn't horrible. But I think if you're expecting something amazing, you may be disappointed. I was really looking forward to this because Noah is hands-down my favourite character from the Mara Dyer trilogy. I think his voice was written really well, and it didn't feel like his narration was just thrown together for the sake of the fans.
If you didn't know, this takes place after the events of the Mara Dyer trilogy, told in Noah Shaw's point of view.
But if you asked me the plot, I don't know what I would tell you. After Retribution, I really felt like Mara as a character was wrapped up really nicely, but this just opens her up all over again, and it's weird that it takes place from Noah's point of view. He really is the character that needs his own series, but I felt like it wasn't utilized the way it should've been. Noah's "problems" in this are so mundane and don't have much to do with the previous trilogy. Meanwhile Mara... continues to be Mara.
It was just kinda weird.
I will continue the series, because I'm total trash for Mr. Noah Shaw the love of my life, and the ENDING really leaves me with many questions (that will hopefully be answered). It just felt like this 380 page book could've had a lot more significance and a lot less standing around. So I feel good with 3/5 stars.
EDIT 2/1/18: what even happened in this book? I don't remember. 2.5/5.
