emilynsopp 's review for:
The Righteous
by Renée Ahdieh
2.5 stars. This was nothing like what I was expecting. I read the previous books in the series over a year ago so I didn’t mind that this one focused on Pippa and Arjun because I honestly didn’t remember any of the plot from the rest of the series. Whiiich was a problem because it was hard to pick up and figure out.
But beyond all that l, this book had some weird things going on. The pacing was all over the place. I think it technically took place within 2 or 3 days but it’s really hard to tell how time is passing. At one point I assumed multiple days had passed and then they mentioned that a big event happened the day before. It was hard to follow the timeline.
The author also tried really hard to make religious, political, and social commentary but it was so obviously done that it pulled me out of the story.
The ending was really abrupt. I’m disappointed because I remember liking the other books in the series.
