airxsouls 's review for:

The Way of the Cicadas by Audrey Henley
3.0

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review!
I'll start with the advertising. This was said to be a queer dystopian story and when I tell you I ran to click the request button. I think that's why I'm so disappointed in it being such a minor subplot you can barely call it a plot at all. This definitely gave me Maze Runner or Divergant YA dystopia vibes and that's not a terrible thing by any means but it saying it was Adult kinda blows my mind.

I think there was tons of potential, there were so many points that held my interest but weren't really expanded upon. I'd love to see this fleshed out more or maybe marketed a different way, I'm sure those who love what I'm "eh" on about it would enjoy this book! It was pretty short and the ending left me hoping to read a second book one day!
