A review by lizziehutchings
Broken Ground by V.E. Schwab
4.0
lol, props to V.E.S. for giving me the most creepy-a villain I've ever seen in a middle grade novel. Hah.
"There are no easy roads in life. There are no hard ones either. There are only paths we choose to take, and the places they lead us."
"Oh, yeah? What about when you choose one path, but it's filled with white-eyed monsters, so you have to double back and take the other road?"
This book was infinitely better than I was initially expecting. The characters were so like V.E.'s other characters. Full of life, depth, and strength. My favorite character was Rollan, who was just adorable and insecure and desperately needed a hug.
One critique I would make of this book is that it wasn't quite long enough. I wanted to see more plot, I wanted to see the gang come together, but I was definitely stuck in an extremely long cave-scene for literally half the book.
Also, the VILLAIN definitely needed more page time, because he was soooooo cool and hecka creepy. Also, the pArAsiTe?!?!?
Bully Maguire, I figured out where Venom came from...this bOoK!
ANyways, have a lovely Sunday
