ericarobyn 's review for:
Flare
by Jonathan Maas
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway (thanks so much!!). I enjoyed this book. I thought that the idea behind the story was very clever. It certainly gave me a Stephen King/Michael Crichton vibe because it was scientific and thrilling. However, the writing style made me only feel I could give it three stars.
Firstly, because I felt the dialogue needed some work. I found myself thinking that many of the conversations felt forced and a bit lame.
And second, I knew I would be kicking myself later for not marking down examples...but in quite a few situations, I found the text to be repetitive to the point where I was like, wait, didn't I just read that line a couple paragraphs back?
***Spoilers below***
Overall, I would suggest this book to others because I really enjoyed the story. If there is a book two, I would check it out because...HELLO?! WHAT HAPPENED TO ASH?! :)
