We were at my brother-in-law's wedding reception. The bride was beautiful, groom happy and handsome, and we were happy for them both and happy to be together again!
First and foremost, I'm a Mommy. I'm also despite my best efforts, a nerd. As my parents would constantly remind us as kids, nerd parents make little nerdlings! So I've finally decided to stop fighting, and embrace it. Besides, nowhere in the definition of a nerd did it say one can't be pretty.
Boo. I wanted to love this book. I really got pulled into the first two of this series. I find this particular dystopian world a fabulous, creative idea. However, obviously, she didn't know how to end. So she didn't. Very lazy writing I'm afraid. She built you up for a great conclusion, your heart desperate for resolve, and it never comes. Have you ever had a book you loved, ruined due to a bad ending? I'd put this entire series in that category. She tried to give an empty excuse of saying the entire point of the story is we don't have all the answers. Every author who "ends by not ending" tries the same thing. I don't buy into it though, again, that's lazy. We read a story to know how a problem is resolved. The deeper the problem, the more satisfying the resolve. She took her readers in deep, and them dumped them. Again, boo. Would never recommend. What a let down. Instead of feeling thrilled and empowered by a potentially great story, I'm angry at the sloppy, lazy writing, and am suffering from readers remorse, big time.
I'm so happy that you're happy.
