Numenera - The Poison Eater by Shanna Germain
3.0
This world makes so little sense as to go beyond mystery into the surreal.
If you enjoy unbelievable settings like "The Maze Runner" or "Divergent," then you may like this series.
The book takes the reader immediately into a city where the protagonist is the Poison Eater. We learn the protagonist's origins in flashbacks. Apparently, she has a plan to use her position to defeat an old enemy. The trouble is, she had this plan before taking on the mantle of Poison Eater, but we never learn how she secured the job. She's one person in a large city and there's only one Poison Eater... Is that a sound plan?
I think the key to enjoying these books is to question nothing. Just have faith that it will all make sense in the end... or that you'll have forgotten the plot holes by then.
