The Immortalists

disbelief: suspended
pay-out: pretty good

i get why people were a little disappointed with this book. it markets itself as more of an adventure/thriller novel with the premise that all four characters know when they're going to die. however, the immortalists turns out to be more of a book about human nature, and i really liked that.

my only gripe is that varya's life and chapters seemed very disconnected from the rest of the siblings, and left me wanting more from the finale. while the other three were very interconnected in how they shaped each other's lives and deaths, there seemed to be little to no effect on varya, which made me sad. perhaps that is simply the life of an eldest sibling.
