A Want So Wicked
by Suzanne Young
As I said in my review of the first novel, this book had what the other didn’t and vice versa.
List time!
1. A Need So Beautiful, I found, contained a lot more emotion, more anguish. There was more of a fire between Charlotte and Harlin than there was with the two characters in A Want So Wicked. This book had emotions, but they were more like self-hatred and regret than loss of life and memories. There’s not that much of a difference, but you see it (i.e. The first book managed to make me cry, while the second one didn’t, it did, however, make me pity Onika…)
2. Where A Need So Beautiful had the idea of ‘light’ and angelic beauty, A Want So Wicked showed the courser side of everything – it told Onika’s story and what she had to do in order to survive. It gave us the dark side to the Forgotten, and what happens when they stay. This kind of completed the ideas that were tossed out into the open in A Need So Beautiful.
3. Memories. Where Charlotte had none before a certain age, Elise remembered her childhood, her present self, and everything in between.
4. The End. I liked the end of A Need So Beautiful a lot more than A Want So Wicked. I actually found that the end of AWSW was a lot more confusing and rushed, almost, than ANSB. (Yeah I gave up on typing the titles…). Maybe I missed something? But AWSW didn’t really feel finished. It felt like there were supposed to be a few more pages, maybe even an epilogue, but there was nothing.
I really liked both books of this series, and each one had its merits. Though I loved seeing the darker side of everything, I didn’t like that the emotional connection wasn’t as strong. Also, the ending bothers me. I feel like there’s still a few answers that were left unsaid, and a lot of questions that were never answered. I don’t know… I feel like there should be more to AWSW or at least a novella or something answering some of the questions posed in AWSW that were never truly answered.
Plot: 4.5/5
Characters: 5/5
World Building: 3.5/5
Cover: 5/5
Overall: 4/5
GoodReads Rating: 4.06/5
