Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl but in a futuristic sky rise city. There are five perspective characters, three of which are nearly identical rich girls. It's exhausting to keep them straight. The prologue has an unnamed girl falling from the top floor. By the time the story reaches that point again, I was still getting characters mixed up enough that it took me a bit to be sure who it was.
A dumb future is better than this dystopian present, so I'll probably continue the series. But I'll probably wish I hadn't.
After five years of sitting around on my bookshelves, I figured it was finally time to pick up this book and omigod every bad review of this book is wrong. I mean, there is no plot and all the characters are awful people, but I survive off of drama and this book has given me more energy then my daily naps ever will.
I'm so conflicted. I was hoping for more serious things, although it did end that way the biggest part of this book was just drama between friends. Keeping track of who is dating who again also took some legit effort.
The whole thing with Avery and Atlas was also just not great. What is it with authors writing about ‘technically' not incest couples. This weird kink needs to be kept out of books. And that is their only struggle in all this. How am I supposed to sympathise with that.
I also really don't like that Leda didn't die. I hoped she'd be the one falling down the building. Her character sucks and I get that it's a whole addiction thing, but besides that she also just isn't a likable person. Only Merial, Watt and Cord were characters that I kinda liked. And they didn't get all that much attention.
I'm really torn about the sequels. No idea if I wanna read those.
I have mixed feeling about this, I have never read a dystopian that isn't about saving the world, and have an evil ruler. And I liked the future and tech side of this book the most, I didn't know that there is an incest love story, if I had I wouldn't have read this, despite one of my ALL TIME FAV Series has an incest love story, I don't think anyone can write it beautifully and make me ship it.
The characters that I liked were only two of the entire cast, they're Avery and Watt, Atlas I didn't know much about so I can't say whether I dislike him or not.
this gave me the vibe of Gossip Girl which I don't like, and I don't see, myself continuing on with this series, but anyone who's interested in this should try listening to the audiobook, it makes it easy to follow through.
I find the second half most interesting than the first one, because it encourages me to keep reading the rest of the novels due to the anxious feelings and adrenaline I experienced reading this part. It seems to be a young adult novel but I know everybody could enjoy it. 3.5/5.0.
“The Thousandth Floor” is the first in a trilogy written by Katharine McGee. The novel is based in a thousand floor building in New York City, the richer you are the higher up you are in the tower. The novel follows five main characters who live in this tower. Throughout the novel the five teenage struggle to find their place at the top of this tower. The novel is a science fiction novel with high-tech luxury. Throughout the novel we are trying to find out who of the five had died at the beginning of the novel.
This novel was really odd for me. I found one of the romantic relationships kinda gross. I didn't enjoy this novel that much. I gave this a 2/5 Stars, I will not be continuing with this trilogy. I don't really care about anyone in this book.
