3.0

I really wanted to like this book, but it just wasn’t it for me. I’m a huge attack on titan fan, so I thought this book would be great since it’s an similar premise. Unfortunately it’s a little too similar in some aspects. This is like if attack on titan was a book, and it was way more boring and predictable. The plot was interesting but as I said, unoriginal, which I would have been able to get past if the characters were better. Sadly, the characters were my biggest problem with this book. They were so one dimensional and bland that I didn’t even care what happened to them. I couldn’t connect with them at all which made the story uninteresting. They all had literally no individual personalities, which was very disappointing. There were definitely good aspects of this book, like the prose was very beautiful and it had great diversity and representation. But overall, to me it’s flaws out way the positives, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
