young adult, fantasy
I'm going to admit something here that's very painful for me, but... I have sequel fatigue. Wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a really cool YA adventure that was over when you closed the cover?
I'm a fan of Marie Lu- I really enjoyed the Legend series (sorry, I read it before we had this blog) and I love that she writes about badass women on a regular basis. I listened to Warcross during a road trip and Nancy Wu did a wonderful job narrating & bringing the characters to life. She held my attention for almost 12 hours of driving which is no small feat.
I also really enjoyed the story of Warcross, the game was fascinating and the world well-drawn. I enjoyed most of the characters and enjoyed their experiences. BUT, I found that I could never truly enjoy it because I knew that there wasn't going to be any resolution at the end. Some of the plot points were predictable, but overall it was a fun story. Honestly, if not for my sequel fatigue I would've likely given it 4 stars, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
Will I read the sequel? I don't know. I would like to know what unfolds, but I'm just kind of over the whole waiting-a-year-for-the-next-bit-of-the-story. In another year maybe my fatigue will have passed...
