The Island by M.A. Bennett
2.0
I went into this pretty blind. At first I was interested but once I stopped at around 25% to go eat I found I struggled to get back into it.
Majority of the book felt slow and the only thing we really saw was Link become more unlikable.
The ending sadly didn't make up for the rest of the book. The epilogue is ridiculous. I would worry if he actually ran a country.
Link, the main character is so unlikable. The type of person I would avoid in real life. The fact he made the girls dress in the skirt for him, starved them if they didn't do what he wanted and mocked them disgusted me. He felt so entitled and like he can treat them this way because he was bullied for years. Wrong type of message to send.
The other characters felt very stereotypical as well.
