Review | 'The Forsaken'

The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Forsaken is a completely misleading book. Going into it, I thought I would be flying through action and adventure and coming-of-age, but none of those were really experienced. I did, however, like the fast-pacing and storytelling. I would have liked to actually explore the psychological concept of 'violent tendencies.' The characterization was a bit poor, save for a few characters. The ending was anticlimactic. The writing, however, is what saved the book (in some manner) for me; it was interesting and kept me flipping the pages, despite some poor world-building and character development. Hopefully the sequel is much more of a satisfaction than this one.
