ninetalevixen 's review for:
Map of Fates
by Maggie Hall
2.5 stars.
The writing itself is average, the characters adequately developed; the setting changes too rapidly to really evaluate. But I continuously felt like the plot progression was too neat and convenient, even when it didn’t go as the protagonists hoped — not just predictable, but overtly scripted. Avery in particular was frustratingly dense; I had figured out the “clues” a few chapters before she and her friends finally had the answer fall into their laps. And everything about the love triangle made me roll my eyes.
