tanouska 's review for:

Luck Lines by Quinn Tollens
3.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked the concept of this book, and how the author built the world around it, what influence the existence of luck lines would have on society and what kind of prejudices would develop because of it.
My main reason for my rating is that I didn't really like the main character for the biggest part of the book. Her personal development was very much the plot of the book, so I think that was the point, but it just makes me enjoy reading less when I can't really root for them. That's a very personal feeling though.
I was glad that the main things I didn't like were addressed in the plot during the story.
I was glad the world building showed you can't use your luck to force someone's actions like Helena tried to do (and that Helena was aware it wouldn't fix her relationship, just give a nudge to a chance to explain.) In the end it did help give her a chance to talk with the necklace thing. I liked that it wasn't a straightforward fix.


I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.
