I had a hard time staying focused on the book and couldn't really follow along. The story was all about a girl and how her life was. I wasn't too thrilled with "Evie" throughout most of the book and wish that she could have been a little more, adult, about things. She was the perfect whiny teen and got on my nerves a lot. Once the book was finished I was happy to see everything resolved and will grudgingly start the second book in the series, just to make sure I know what happens, because no matter what, I always finish a series once I start it. This book started out very well. Even tho it had a strong ya feel to it, at first it was fine. Despite ya not being my favourite kind of story (which probably is tied to my age xD) I don't inherently dislike this kind of coming of age story. A young person in difficult circumstances discovering herself, grasping increasingly hard realities and finding her place in the world. But then a third of the way in the plot starts to get moving and things stop making sense. It's not one particular plothole that could've been patched up or anything of the kind. Everything starts to become completely illogical and stupid while beat up tropes and clicheés overshadow everything. I believe the reason for this mess is that the author had a fixed idea of how the plot should develop and just made things up on the fly, rigidly following the golden thread and was too lazy to find reasonable explanations for why characters do what they need to for everything to make sense. It's just laziness. It seems authors believe while writing ya they can get away with hiding all their laziness behind a few engaging and dramatic action-packed scenes or emotional mayhem. Well, obviously this works or otherwise so much of ya wouldn't be so popular. I guess this is not only a rant about this book in particular as I dropped this one quickly after things stopped making sense but about all the stupid and thoughtless shit I've read in ya. I am disappointed because even tho there were a few smaller weaknesses visible early on I liked the cast as well as the setup and the writing was decent. I guess I really wanted to have found a good ya novel for a change but alas. :( aucune critique | ajouter une critique
