La Resistencia I: Búsqueda
by Laura Gallego
This wasn't great. There were a lot of things that bugged me in this book; some of them are because it's clearly directed at young children and the language used to tell the story is veeery simplistic. Others are due to the fact that the story was a bit boring.
And others were just cringy.
There were a few scenes I enjoyed, and most of them involved Victoria and Kirtash, who are the most interesting characters in this book. Alexander is a big idiot with no brains, Shail is incredibly dull, and Jack is a Harry Potter with anger management issues, just plainly insufferable. His story isn't interesting at all, it can be summed up in one word: revenge; whereas Victoria's story seems a little bit deeper, as does Kirtash's. The last battle in the book was what saved it for me, because I was ready to give it one star and forget about this series. But the battle was actually interesting, and the interaction between Kirtash and Victoria gave their characters a lot more depth.
A few predictions: Victoria is Lunnaris and Jack is the dragon (pretty obvious imo); Shail isn't dead; there will be a redemption arc for Kirtash; there will be a romance between Victoria and Kirtash, and possibly a love triangle involving Jack too.
