I'm not a big fan of this book as the pacing within the books is really slow and I found myself getting bored quickly I'm still on page 98 and stuck there. I think this storyline has great potential... but the fact that you find out the actual storyline very slowly just makes the book slow, repetitive and it just lags making you bored and uninterested,
I have one or two good points: The fact that Callum and Sephy's relationship is slow and steady and full of passion helps you read on just a little bit more.... Just not enough for me to find the will to finish the book,
Also the fact that it makes you wonder how much we take for granted and that racism and prejudices' are still apart of the world even though we have developed and evolved it also shows us that if the worlds history was just a little different how would the world turn out? why? and this book tries to make us understand that which is a good pro for the book but it just isn't enough for this book to be interesting to me... And I usually love Malorie Blackman books, eg: The stuff of nightmares so the fact I didn't like this book has made me a little sad
here and here
so I hope you enjoyed the review dont forget MERRY CHRISTMAS until the next review bye bye
