I was really excited for Neptune's Tears when I first read the synopsis. It seemed like it would be a really great sci-fi/post apocalyptic book, but unfortunately, I didn't like it at all.

My main problem with book was the lack of world building and sense of time. There wasn't much detail at all in this book. I felt like a lot of the events were left up to my imagination when it came to the specifics. The group of anarchists in the book, who were supposed to be the bad guys, weren't explained much at all. I still have no idea why the anarchists were motivated to drop shock bombs on innocent people. Also the problem with there being no sense of time really affected my view of the character relationships. Zee and David met, and then it seemed they instantly fell in love. The only way that I knew a large amount of time had past was when the author actually wrote out that it had been two months.

That takes me to the characters. There wasn't much development either. The main character, Zee didn't come off to me as having much of a personality. For some reason I just didn't like her. David's character seemed like an unsuccessful attempt to be that stereotypical 'mystery guy' that is in a lot of YA books. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. My favorite character would have to be Rani, who wasn't even a big part of the story. But, she seemed the most developed and had the most personality.

The book was a really good idea, and I think that it could have been great, if not so rushed and underdeveloped. The idea of empaths is really fascinating, but the way that it was written didn't to the topic justice. There was so much potential in the idea of the book that I felt I needed to give it 2 stars.

In the end I wouldn't recommend this book. There were so many things that I wished were more developed. I actually wished the book was longer just for that reason. I would have loved the story to be more detailed.
