A delightfully quick, young-adult novel. A little like ready player one, with better romance.
Loved it. Loved everything about it. Kept me hooked and wanting more. Finished it in one go and couldn't put it down. Loved the concept and the characters and the writing. Gonna re-read it for sure!
I love to reread books in July and August! And Warcross is NO exception! I LOVED IT, AGAIN <3
This juuuust eked out a third star from me, due to a few funny nerd in-jokes.
It was OK, but really failed to keep my interest. In a lot of ways it read more like a treatment for a movie that will be billed as “the next Hunger Games!” than a novel. A lot of ink was invested in describing settings, action sequences, and clothing rather than advancing the plot.
Said plot is fine - I was curious how things would play out, and the solution to the mystery was reasonably satisfying, if a tad predictable. The romance was probably at the normal level for YA - there was definitely some heat generated, but nothing gets too horizontal.
I won't be reading any possible sequels, but I'm game to take my kids to see it if it's rendered on the big screen in all its neon, CGI, Big Badass Battle Sequence glory.
