it was ok
bookshelves: read-in-2018, young-adult, fiction

I didn't really like this book but no matter, it has served its purpose which was introducing me to Amari so thanks for that I guess.

It wasn't a terrible book, I am just a horrible hollow kind of indifferent towards it. My heart was itching for an experience that I just didn't get.

Trisha I saw this book at the store not long after it came out, sadly I was unable to but it at the time, my bank account wouldn't allow it, I'm hoping to get it soon because it sounds so interesting.

honestly if zél & amari were a thing, this would have easily been a four stars, it's the romance that ruined it for me personally :/

yeah. i'm about halfway through and have stopped for a bit. it's coming across as a little too chaotic for me. like over here we have THIS happening but oh wait there is THIS happening too but DON'T FORGET ABOUT THIS... i'll def read the next book in the series but only because i'm waiting for zél and amari to get together. ¯\_(�)_/¯

exactly how I felt tbh!! I really wanted to like it but oh well :/


Nenia ✨ I yeet my books back and forth ✨ Campbell I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who wasn't blown away with this. Your review makes me feel better about my opinion haha :')


Swati So good to see someone else giving 2 stars for this book!!


message 18: by Hiba (new) - rated it 3 stars

Hiba Oh yess Amari was the most amazing thing about this book.


Maria Yes! Amari was my absolute favourite part of the Book


Natalia The only thing that literallyed anyonned me though being honest, is the fact, that this book screamed elements from the hunger games lol.
Other than that I actually was amused.


Natalia Zellie felt like katniss for the most part or trish diveregent is literally what i saw.


Maria I've written this before but I found it predictable.. Sorry but that's honest. It was well written. Too polished though..


Donna (the book hoarder) I'm liking it so far, though Zelie is getting on my nerves making dumb decisions that only workout thanks to dumb luck. I'm kind of indifferent towards Amari so far though, hope that changes!


Rachel Bea Didn't care for this book either, unfortunately.


Sofie Novak Amari was hands down the best character in the series. The only one with a level head and an unwavering goal.


message 27: by Leslie (new) - added it

Leslie Hitchcock I couldn’t emotionally connect with any of them. Also found the duel romance eye-rolling. I don’t think I will continue the series. I read a few months ago and already forgot what happened


Momma Leighellen’s Book Nook Actually super thankful to see your low review on this. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me that it wasn't 5 stars?!!? The romance I could have either done without or just let them get it on and get over it already. And Amari's character way out shadowed Zelie so I hope the 2nd book is more about her. Cuz she seems like a total BA!


Nicole I don’t know if it is because I haven’t read the hunger games in YEARS but I didn’t get a hunger games vibe. I guess you could say that boat scene where they had to fight the other maji people could be “hunger gameish� but I didn’t feel like this book was a rip off from any other series. I thought the relationship was a tad bit fast for me but the writing, suspense, character development, and plot were more than enough to make up for that.

Yuliya Oh no! So it's not the new harry potter? 😭


Morgan honestly like... amari and zélie were clearly meant to be in lesbians and we were denied that beautiful relationship


message 32: by BradburyTree (new) - added it

BradburyTree I feel the same way so far, I have been hoping for something more. I will finish it but I can see myself only slightly liking it.


Sophie Found this book crazy dark. I'm 40% into it and I already have thought about not finishing it. The only thing holding me back is that it is so hard to stop reading a book at its climax. But yes, very dark. dont fall in love with ANY characters. Aaaaand falling in love with characters is pretty much the whole point of reading books with gazillions of characters.


Sophie Ok just finished it and 5 more people died. But i read the uh whats it called like epilogue and nos
w understand the deaths


Amanda I couldn't finish it, so yeah...I understand what you mean. Sad because I heard such great things about it, but it didn't stick with me for some reason, and I had to throw it on my dwindling firepit DNR pile. Hmm. Oh well. Glad I'm not alone!

It copied heavily from Avatar the last airbender the ship scene reminded me of hunger games

Zelie didnt seem anything like Katniss or Tris Tris tried hard to be Katniss and i havent read of a Amari like charecter before
