I think books with insufferable love triangles should bear a warning, but if there's a hint of one, I'm more or less okay with it. I'm guessing this is a more insufferable type of love triangle than most, though?<br /><br />Your rating almost seems a bit more positive than the words of your review themselves do. Apparently I'm a bit critical of my science fiction picks myself, so this is probably a story that's best for me to avoid. Thanks for the honest review, Keertana!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-38738052129992260282014-02-19T21:38:28.871-05:002014-02-19T21:38:28.871-05:00We already talked about this book.

I haven't really been paying this one much attention - I didn't even know what it was about until now - but I'm not sure that it would work for me. It sounds like it has a few too many underdeveloped areas that would get on my nerves. Still, I'm glad it wasn't terrible! Thanks for the helpful review as always. :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-75431986328525043282014-02-16T04:23:36.143-05:002014-02-16T04:23:36.143-05:00So I kinda face palmed when you said love triangle...So I kinda face palmed when you said love triangle. *cry* WHYYYY<br /><br />Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17035338608975371558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-5661045252330365162014-02-15T17:31:05.755-05:002014-02-15T17:31:05.755-05:00This is the first I've heard of this and while...This is the first I've heard of this and while the space aspect draws me in, the love-triangle and the way the society is set up does not.

I like that this is a stand-alone, but I'm just not that interested to pick this up, more so after reading your review. Wonderful review, Keertana. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-29361951011565180442014-02-15T13:07:58.942-05:002014-02-15T13:07:58.942-05:00I'm okay with a love triangle in some instance...I'm okay with a love triangle in some instances, but not if it clearly appears to be a friendship. I don't know if this is a series, it sounds like it isn't so I don't know why the reasons for the world being the way it is aren't given (I hate that) or if the women on the spaceships are given their independence. That would bother me. I like my characters a lot. Too much to read a book that doesn't have ones that I'd cheer for. I really wanted to read this one. I think I really like the cover. And I'm mad at the way Ava was treated. But now, not so much.<br />Great review!

One would believe that people realized by now that love-triangles are big no-no. I do agree also that the whole keeping women illiterate is more prehistoric than futuristic. This book sounds interesting but now I know that there is love-triangle so I'll let it pass.

Most of the time I just couldn't invest myself to the characters or the world is too weird for my liking. The characters seem okay, but it's too bad the author doesn't include more details for the world in this book! I think I'll pass this book for now.

She could've kicked them both to the curb and it would've probably been a way cooler book. This book is just so pretty, but I'm not surprised by the content you've mentioned in your review. It sounds like the writer focused on cliches and went with it. Great review, Keertana!Sassy Sarah Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475655781282809602noreply@blogger.com
