A review by aretz
Poison Princess by Kresley Cole
3.0
I'm not sure how to rate this book; I think I've settled on 2.5 and raised it to three. I think I'll say I'll recommend it over Divergent or Hunger Games, but post-apoctalyptic stories just aren't as good as they used to be and for the most part, it's probably a genre to avoid. Lastly (for unspoiled comments), this feels a little New Adultish than Teen fiction for me, but New Adult has been having a relatively hard following as becoming a writing section [YA, AF, ANF, JF].
Spoilers are below:
There were plenty of instances where I wanted to keep reading, but then there were plenty that I was just going "End already, what is this mystery?" I also question the Arthur bit. Does it make sense for the end? Yes. Did we need him to be the catalyst for the story to come from Evie? No.
There was nothing wrong with the writing and Matthew was very interesting and Finn really really close. Just wish he didn't need to have Jackson's girl obsessed frequency. Sigh, and there were plenty of moments to hate Jackson. Sure, he could protect Evie, but it mostly feel like he was playing with her and putting up too much of a front. Maybe he gets better in later books? Who knows.
