4 gnomes out of 5 gnomes
This
story is very different than what I’ve seen lately. The world building
is really intriguing and the characters will really start to grow on
you.
What I love: The World
This
world feels alien yet like something that could happen. After an epic
alien invasion kills over a billion people simultaneously there is
pretty much no resistance to speak of. The once major cities are now
known as silent cities because that’s all that’s left there. The aliens
have absolute control and control all electricity too so people have to
adapt or literally die.
What I Like: The Characters (well most of them)
I
like that the characters have these powers, I find it a little weird
that they are essentially named after what they can do or an effect of
their power. Their powers also struck me as a bit Captain Planet-ish
because these characters are all about emotions/feelings. I am very
curious to whether more people with powers will be discovered.
What I’m very iffy about: The Love Triangle
The
love triangle that kind of wanes and ebbs is interesting yes but I
really don’t want a lot more of it. Also I’m pretty much very against
the choice she makes at the end. I
just can’t get over how the powers of one of the guys could be
influencing the whole situation plus you should only be able to
seemingly betray people once a story at most.
Why You Should Read This Book:
- Wonderful world building
- The bad guys are actually scary
- The characters really start to grow as the story progresses.
- If you want to read something that feels refreshing/new
- The crazy yet awesome situations at the end.
