I was all over the place with this one. For like the first third I was uninterested. Then, the action stepped up and Jude had to make difficult decisions. I also kept guessing what was going to happen which kept me engaged. I do want to continue with the series.
Jude is interesting but not my favorite character. She makes a lot of dumb decisions. I understand character development and difficult choices. But she was just foolish. I could grow to like her, but right now I’m kind of “blah.”
Generally, I’m not a big fan of grey morality, but I’m open to this story. Why? I don’t know. Maybe Ms. Black set up the explanation for characters’ choices very well for me. Made is probably the character I’m the most invested and interested in. Garden has potential. But I’ve seen this type of character before and the change needs to be well done for me to be onboard.
I heard so much about Jude and Garden. Why does no one talk about Jude’s family? I would’ve been more on board with this series if I knew about her sisters and family.
Hopefully, I continue to enjoy these books.
Thanks for reading!
