Codie Catamarie
Leaning very heavily on the YA more then the Sci-fi. Very simple prose.
Interesting plot with the characters filling out distinct roles. Good amount of originality with some plot twists. Not where I expected the book to go when reading the blurb but I understand needing to market the book. YA isn't to close to my tastes and the middle started to lose me for a second.
Definitely not a disappointing book, it's got thought-provoking concepts but they aren't the main focus.
I will read the rest in the trilogy hoping the books will go on a more original trajectory then where I think the plot actually will.
A partial enemies to lovers with a solid plot.
Simple but easy to read writing and first person account that improves as you go on. Excellent foreshadowing and strong characters.
Male characters could use some work in the romance department but was still enjoyable.
Short-story chapters that weaved together to create a larger narrative all recounted by a single female who watched every event throughout its progression over her lifetime.
Mainly dialogue. Each chapter had its own ‘dilemma' which the characters solved by the end with some celibacy of a plot twist. This made the story very idea and plot based; a solid start to sci-fi.
Well-written book that becomes more complex as R develops. The sexual elements added in throughout were a bit of a turned-off. Other elements also became weird. The female fell into a ‘girl needing to be saved' trope, but only became annoying when I noticed it.
Overall, I prefer the movie in this case.
