My Rating: êê1/2
My Review: For some reason I wasn’t very thrilled
reading this book. Sure, I read it in one day, but I was mostly just skipping
through it, confused what was going on. I was kind of bored. The setting was
pretty interesting, and all the radio-active stuff seemed pretty scary, but the
characters still felt pretty flat to me. I actually think that Dark Eden should
have been a stand-alone. 13 Days Till Midnight was a stand-alone, and that book
was awesome! So why the sequel? Having characters with all those aging related
weaknesses, like Marisa’s sleeping, made me feel like they were weak.
The book is fast paced despite the long chapter
set-up, but I couldn’t get into it. If there is another book, I hope it’s
better than this mess. The ending was pretty satisfying though since they were
truly cured, so there probably won’t be another book. Hope you all like this book
better than I did.
Cover Art Review: I liked the other cover they
originally had better. This one is boring. The people on it aren’t very
interesting. And it’s not shiny!
