The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White
3.0
I've read some pretty bad reviews of The Chaos of Stars, and I have to say I didn't think it was all that bad. Sure, there is better YA stuff out there, but there is a lot worse too. And clocking in at less than 300 pages with fairly big print, this was a really quick read, which is nice sometimes.
The main character, Isadora, can get a little whiny and annoying at times, but she's probably a typical teenager. I feel like with the shortness of the book, the story wasn't super fleshed out, but it was really good enough for a bit of entertainment. That's mostly what I'm looking for these days when I read.
I don't know a whole lot about Egyptian mythology, so maybe this book is way off base with it all, and that could be annoying for people. But if you don't know/don't care that much, it's not a big deal. I wouldn't say run out and pick up a copy of this one, but if you come across it at the library or something and are looking for something to read, it's a decent choice.
I got an ARC of this one, not sure where from, it just showed up in my mailbox.
