April 16, 2021I just couldn't with this series. I was doing well and once I lost my momentum - it was gone. Ariel sucked, she was selfish and drunk all the time and just generally whiny. Harold was just as bad. These were only like 130 pages, so I don't think it was actually possible to add depth to the eight POV characters, but like they had friends turn to goop and literally:
Like - one of the girls had an abusive relationship with her boyfriend, and he disappears in like March? And she just mentions the trauma of being around him and IDK, there was just no substance to it. I struggled through 650 pages of the story, and that was more then it was worth.
I read one maybe two pages of this particular book, and once I put it down there was no going back. I tried, I really really did, but going back was not going to happen. It was a really interesting concept, but follow through wasn't there.

Alright, I'm officially tapping out. These characters are just too freaking annoying. The mystery isn't even worth it anymore. Every book feels the same. I'm cheating and skipping to book twelve just to see what happened.

Parker continues his post-apocalyptic dystopian future with teenagers starting to have magical powers, and who are hoping to fulfill a prophecy that would save their destroyed world. Parker drives this story almost exclusively through dialogue and has the fast-paced action that is ideal for a young-adult audience but that leaves almost anyone else full of questions. This is one of those series that while you might love as a teenager, you will dislike as an adult.
