Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Kit-Kat

So I read the three other books in this trilogy turned four-book series, and I enjoyed them, especially Specials. But I wish the story would have stopped there.
It started out with a lot of potential. The scenario was a very original and therefore interesting one. But as I read on, the plot just seemed to drag along. As far as I could tell, there was no climax. The "adventures" weren't enough to capture my attention and the plot was just boring, boring, boring.
Also, the main character, Aya's obsession with fame and always having to be on camera before she did something was annoying. I felt she didn't grab how serious certain situations were, she was so concerned with how she came off in it. Speaking of character, all of them seemed kind of flat. There was not enough development or individuality for me to actually care what happened to them.
So why did I finish reading it if it was that bad? Because Westerfeld's other books are amazing and I kept telling myself that it was going to get better. But it didn't...
