Score: Four points out of ten.
After reading an underwhelming realistic book I was hoping that I would enjoy this one, I didn't and turns out as you've guessed by the rating of this, it's even worse than the last one, I had so many issues and could not like this book at all, where do I even begin. It starts off with the main character Zara Wilson who was on a motorbike with her brother Jem when he crashed into a tree to avoid a toddler, killing him and knocking Zara out and there's the first problems: the beginning of this is similar to the last book and it suffers from the same issues, "sighs". Soon enough I find myself inside Zara's subconscious and then she goes into a comic??? I don't get it since this would be a more fantasy aspect but the library put this wrongly I might add into the realistic section. In the comic, she is all alone at first but then there are some other characters like Trace, Jem, Dark Eagle and the antagonist Morven and all of them I just couldn't connect to which was tantamount to the last book. She is in this world for quite a while when the story just confuses me, it switches between not one, not two, but three points of view which are Zara's, Zara in the past and the outside world which was hard to wrap my head around. In the end, I think Zara leaves the comic and recovers ending this on a high note.… (más)
