I am genuinely confused by this book. The number of things throughout that didn't make any sense to me is staggering. One of the biggest issues I had, was how everyone turned on Claire. For no reason. The author clearly wanted this girl alone and suffering, fine, but you can't have the sort of relationships Claire did, with so many, and have it all instantly turn to hate. No real remorse shown by any one, no willingness to try and explain. She's just abandoned and 'woe is me' to the point where I seriously disliked her.
The ideas of the story, I loved. I so wanted to love this book. And early on, I thought I would like it, despite it being in need of a good edit (simple things like stating that Claire got 2 messages on her phone, then them being written out and there are 3 of them, and a lot of repetitive phrases). But the more I read, the more ridiculous and over dramatized it became. very frustrating.
By the end, I didn't believe in any of the character, none of the actions or outcomes made any sense and I was left feeling very frustrated. Why? Because I still think the concept is good one. The connections and war between hunters and wolves made perfect sense. The girl who wants to fix the war, find a cure for the moon touched, and not be forced to kill more wolves, makes sense. I wanted that story. But it jumped from one thing, to another, back again, and threw in a hundred unneeded revelations, without enough depth to make it work. So at the end of the day, I am frustrated and disappointed, because I really wanted to like this, and it had so much early hope. But became nothing. And being just book 1 (if reading the collection of episodes 1-6) it's left with a senseless ending and "to be continued". Meaning nothing is resolved at all.
