There were a few grammatical errors - effect and affect were often mixed up - and overall it just didn’t read very well. It was quite melodramatic too, if I’m honest. ![]() ![]() There are cliches strewn all over the place, and though there were one or two moments that did make me laugh, in general I was just irritated by the main character’s narration. The writing is sub-par too simplistic, too annoying. Unfortunately, this book reads just like many of the independent books I’ve read. However, this book didn’t really turn out how I expected, and I was quite disappointed, to be honest. The blurb of this book kind of reminded me of Mila 2.0, and actually brought up the idea of Cinder - a cyborg that’s treated as a second class citizen.
