I’m not quite sure what to think about this book.
As someone who is biracial I can relate to the main themes of this book, but sometimes I felt as if that fact was lost a little bit. At times it felt as if it were only 2 classes, not 3. I think there should’ve been more emphasis made.
As for the characters? I loved Cass, then I didn’t.
I liked Evie then I didn’t.
I never liked Luke, or Kat. Aunt Jen was a strange character and so much more could’ve been made of her past.
I also think Gilow and Jace should’ve been much more bigger parts, especially considering their roles.
But the character I had the most problem with was Evie. She needed to be strong, and clear, and decisive. Instead she was passive and easily manipulated. She was a bit of a pushover.
There were strong selection vibes here, but that world was much more strongly anchored and explored. Here, I found it a little weak.
This book had so much promise, but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me, sorry!
