dkgreads 's review for:
The Conspiracy of Us
by Maggie Hall
The Conspiracy of Us is a pulse-pounding, whirlwind of an adventure that had loads of potential. . .but didn't quite live up to it.
For all of its fast-paced-ness (is that even a thing?) I wish the story would have slowed down just a little to allow things (the Circle, the Order, the plot, the characters) the time needed to be properly fleshed out. I mean, I really liked the concept of this book, I just felt like we were dipping our toes into a puddle of promise, instead of the ocean of possibility that it could have been. Does that make sense?
I also felt that Avery was maybe a little too naive. She makes some choices that really baffled me and had my common-sense-o-meter in the red more often than not.
I really wanted to like this more than I did. Honestly, I skimmed/speed-read the last half because, if I hadn't, I probably would have DNF-ed it. I wanted to see how it ended, but I was also ready for it to be over. At this point, I probably won't be continuing the series when it comes out.
