It's fine I kind of liked how it ended and that saved the story for me.
This book is about race and it's there throughout but really I kind of just think the main character is a bad person.
The social media portions didn't really resonate with me because social media isn't super prominent in my life so hard to relate.
Really enjoyed the first two sections of the book, but the third really doesn't land the plane. Fast read with interesting compelling characters, but it didn't feel like there was anything that tied them together besides the anomaly that happens to them.
I kind of wish that the final section really focused on just a couple of the most interesting characters and followed them through for longer periods of time to show their reactions of the result of the anomaly. It was a little bit too much of a wave of the hand that they all accepted what happened so easily....
Like it and if I could would rate it like 3.75+.
The twist of Marx felt kind of cheap and out of place to me. It did not have the same emotional hit as learning about Sam's mom.
It's like 3.5+ for me. It's fine, it takes a long time to get going for the triwizard tournament but when it finally does it rips.
I am not sure why the reporter plot line is there because it didn't add much for me.
But yea it's solid, starts strong with the World Cup then lulls for like 250 pages and then rips through the second and third task for the tournament. I feel like this book could have used more editing.
