The Killing Jar by Jennifer Bosworth
4.0
I really debated rating this 5 stars. I’d say it’s 4.5 stars. This book was easy and fun to read. The magic in it was unique, interesting, and well-explained. I had ideas of what was going to happen, but the way it played out was always a little different from what I was expecting. The book moved at a good pace, enough to keep you on your toes, but not too fast that you’re lost.
Some things I didn’t like: Some of the important characters like Cyrus, Blake, and Erin were very one dimensional. I mean, it’s a very plot driven book, so it makes sense, but I wish I could have seen a bit more depth or character growth from some of them. Also the final climactic scene got pretty weird, and a little hard to follow. It was in line with the cultish themes of the book, but the way the last 30 pages or so were written just… wasn’t my favorite ending.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and would recommend to anyone who wants a low-fantasy, quick, fun read.
