absinthe 's review for:

Lexicon by Max Barry
3.25
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I wanted so badly for this to be a story set at a school and focused on learning what feels like a magic system of sorts alongside our main character. I was pretty disappointed as this wasn't the case and how so much information was stolen, not learned. 

Not necessarily a bad book, but perhaps the marketing/blurb were misleading.
