Children of Icarus by Caighlan Smith
This book can be a little confusing and I have mixed feelings but its worth giving a shot. I liked the writing, setting of the story and the concept but the buildup and development of the plot threw me off, because of the strange pacing of the book its difficult to relate the ending of the book with the rest of it, in the beginning we see the main character not doing much (She has social anxiety) but it gets to a point that its frustrating because she just stops talking altogether and freezes, its much later on that she goes into action and realizes of her mistakes but it's too late, and she never reveals her name, not even thinks of it, the only information about it its that is very common and that's it, so for a plot that revolves around her identity (or fake identity) it doesn't make much sense.
In a nutshell, I liked the book but I think it could be better if the main character was more developed and took more action in the first half of the book, because to me it felt like the plot was happening to her and she did nothing of significance in it even though she is the main character, but what made me rate it 4 stars its the end! I think its amazing and I would like to read the sequel.
Note: I received a digital copy of this title for an unbiased opinion and reviewing purposes.
Happy Reading!
