Fractured (Slated #2)
This book is not just as good as the first book, it's better! This series is going from strength to strength.
There was a hint in the first book about the whole Slated process, and how it wasn't just criminals but also people who elected to be Slated, and I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't followed up in this book. Fingers crossed for the next?
This book started to delve deeper into the the characters and open up your eyes to who they truly were.
It had an excellent, fast pace and I loved how I was slowly realising the truth about Kyla even as it slowly dawned on her.
I totally get the hype about this series, so now I'm humming and hawing about reading the next. Because then the series will be over. And if it follows on being even better than the previous books the I'm sure it'll leave me Shattered.
3 Stars!I'm not sure if I liked this or not.. I enjoyed some parts of it but I was so annoyed throughout the whole book. There was way too many plot twists for it to be enjoyable. I love plot twists, mostly everyone does but I don't enjoy it when there is a plot twist every couple chapters. It's making me confused because I don't know what is happening in the story anymore. I used to love how I couldn't trust any character but it's getting annoying now because I just want to like a character but
Fractured doesnt suffer from the dreaded middle book syndrome, not in the least. If anything, the stakes are higher, the plot more complicated and the characters better developed. It is a tense read, a thrill ride from start to finish. There were times when I was genuinely afraid for Kyla, even though the rational part of me insisted that nothing too terrible could happen to her. Most of the anxiety I experienced was caused by Nico, an important person from Kylas past. Even when she didnt know
3.5 stars - I liked the first book enough but wasn't too impressed - mostly because it started out too slow, but the end was pretty exciting so I was eager to find out what was going to happen next.On one hand, there wasn't as much action as I thought there was going to be, so I wasn't ripping through the pages because I was dying to find out what was going to happen next. Instead, it was more of frustrated curiosity that kept me going - more or less the same thing I felt about the first one:
Review also posted at Ja čitam, a ti? With all middle books or second books in series I've noticed some pattern, but mostly this happens in dystopians. While in the first book the whole idea is presented and you need to wrap your mind around something, second books leaves you to connect all the smaller things and mostly to get to know the main character and other characters too. This one follows that patter. While in the first book you get the whole idea of Slated was nicely presented in the
Actual rating - 2.5Fractured was a disappointment.Although the first installment, Slated, had a slow pace, i really enjoyed it. This installment, was slower, and a lot less enjoyable.The time i started enjoying it, the book ended. Having to read 400 pages before a book gets interesting, is not great. Not only was it slow, but it was very jumpy too. I've read a few books like that this week, so it got annoying, very fast.Overall, Jumpy, Slow, Disappointing.
This review was also posted on my blog, thisisjustabookblog.tumblr.com I wasn't originally planning on reading this book; I'd read the first and not enjoyed it much, so I didn't see any reason to start this one. However, I came across it in the library, and as it was there, I thought 'why not?'. You can find my review of Slated here. (Also, don't read this review if you haven't read Slated, because there will be spoilers here.)Unfortunately, this book was not an improvement on the last. I was
