Resenhas - The Taker

Good plot, not so good characters
When I laid my eyes on this book cover and then its synopsis I was immediately interested in reading it. The plot of the story seemed just the kind of reading I'd most likely enjoy, so quickly requested it.

Maybe my expectations were very high or maybe I was expecting something the book wasn't, but my disappointment at the story was extreme. The story had such a great potential and Katsu has a unique writing style, but the YA touch just didn't match with the rest.

I couldn't have empathy for any of the characters, only being angered at their superficiality and arrogance. Not even Luke got me sympathising, but questioning why would do everything he does. Adair then is just a plain jerk but in the skin of a wanderer.

It took more than two weeks to finally finish reading this book, and although a few parts were somewhat interesting, it just didn't hook me to want to read the next volumes. I won't say it's impossible I'll read the next, but surely I worthy l won't be so eager for them.
