Ink by Amanda Sun

3.0

---

The reason INK was so bad was because it was so average. There wasn't anything unique about it other than the premise of paper gods. It's a very standard YA paranormal romance. The story was hard for me to get into and I am usually open minded to everything. I did not hate the book it just was not for me. I think I will have a hard pass in the future from anything that is like this book. While you can't often escape clichés and tropes, I really hate when the entire book is such walking cliché like INK is. There isn't a single point that makes this book even sort of redeemable unless you count the fact that it's set in Japan. Katie is an extremely annoying character and the romance is so insta that you just need to add water. I think the cliche's that turned me completely off. I honestly think I would actually rate it 2.5 stars but for the benefit that I did not DNF it I will round to 3 but it is a weak three for me. Like I said I really don't hate the whole book just parts of it that made me not like the story that much and the insta love bit it getting old in romance stories.
