The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles is yet another book that took me entirely by surprise. I found the idea of bounty hunters for Lowlands rather fascinating. Plus, I fell in love with X and Zoe’s little brother. Actually, I fell in love with all of the characters. The Edge of Everything is not perfect. I am not a fan of the insta-love trope in general, and Mr. Giles did nothing to sell me on the connection between Zoe and X. To make matters worse, the world-building is weak. We end the novel with as many questions about the Lowlands as we started, knowing very little about the power structure or even if the Lowlands is a stand-in for Hell. For all its faults, I still find The Edge of Everything charming. Mr. Giles might struggle with world-building, but he does know how to establish dialogue. Even better, he understands teenagers. At no point in time did I question Zoe’s voice or her interactions with her friends. To me, they sounded like my daughter and her friends. Also, although we understand very little about the Lowlands, I want to know more. Those scenes in the Lowlands are interesting because they offer us a chance to learn more. If I were to read the sequel, it would be because I feel the sequel will show us even more information and answers about the Lowlands. The Edge of Everything may have its issues, but I found them a non-issue. I could even forget the insta-love trope because I enjoyed the rest of their interactions so much. Two weeks after finishing the story, I find myself still thinking about the story and the unanswered questions I have, to the point where that sequel is looking more appealing every day. I thought this story was ok. Just ok. It's about this girl who falls in love with a bounty hunter after he saves her and her younger brother from this murderous man, during a deadly blizzard. The beginning was really interesting but after the girl and bounty hunter began to grow closer it started getting kinda boring. It was interesting. The beginning of the book is quite stressful, and I was fascinated by it, the problem started when a meaningless romance between the two heroes began, which bothered me very much, and slowed my reading, but the writing was good, so I could go on reading. But then the two parted, there it became interesting; I actually had more time to know them, so at first, I read how they fall in love, and then I knew them in depth. I would prefer it to be the opposite, but let it be; it is a youth book, with a light novel that drives the plot. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
