I was and am still a HUGE fan of Tara's Timekeeper trilogy. It will remain as one of my favorite fantasies. So naturally, I was very excited for Tara's newest YA fantasy, Scavenge the Stars. Unfortunately for me, it was kind of a disappointment. 

I only finished the book a week ago, and I can barely even remember what happened. I wasn't very interested in the story, or the characters. I kept asking myself "why do I care?" and I won't lie, I almost DNF'd the book a few times. But because I love Tara and her other series, I felt like I should give it a shot. 

What I remember the *most* about this novel were the characters. Cayo's POV was probably my favorite out of the two - he was far more interesting to me than Amaya. But still, the characters felt very one-dimensional and flat, versus dynamic and interesting. The ending I do remember most, when everything unraveled. It kept me intrigued enough to finish, but overall it was predictable and disappointing. 

Even though Scavenge didn't really work for me, I do think this will still be a novel other YA readers may end up loving, and perhaps people who enjoy The Count of Monte Cristo. Sadly, I most likely will not be continuing this series.
