Switched

There are more things I disliked about this book than liked, unfortunately. What I liked: The premise was unique and interesting. Trolls wasn't something that many people have covered, especially not in this way. The different abilities were cool, although not very unique. The character that I really liked was Tove. His social awkwardness was interesting as it was related to his various abilities. I wanted him to be developed more because he was so interesting.
What I didn't like: everything else, lol. I really disliked Wendy. She was angry and kind of bitchy most of the time. And then she just falls in love with Finn for no apparent reason. Finn is mean as well as is Elora. The thing that really bothered me was the novel told you NOTHING! This poor girl is pulled into this life and no one will tell her anything, but then expect her to know things. The pacing of the novel was very off as well. Things happened too fast without much character development. This is probably why I didn't like any of the characters, because I didn't know them well enough. There was a lot of mystery but no investigating. If I had been put into Wendy's situation I would have done much more investigating than she did. No one was telling her anything. Her natural instinct should have been to find it out for herself. Lastly, I didn't like how things were explained to me as a reader. I understood some things from the dialogue and didn't need Wendy's narrative to explain it to me.
All in all, I'm not sure I will be reading the other books in the series. If they are like this one, I would be more of a chore than enjoyable.
