This one unfortunately just wasn't for me. I tried to fall for it as I loved Caravel but sadly I felt the writing was more middle grade vs. young adult and I just felt really board. I didn't really care about the characters so the story was just hard to get into. After writing the above I tried this one again from my Owlcrate subscription and still I did not get very far in this story. It fell flat at every turn and just felt more middle grade in the writing. I wished that the author would have done darker themes and stronger characters in the writing. I hate that publishers sometimes just do not do books justice and sell them in the wrong age group. Because that is really how this one made me feel. That if it would have been sold as a middle grade title it would have done perfectly. Or if it would have been done darker and for older teens it would have been perfect.
