Warcross by Marie Lu

Book Review (short and sweet)

Warcross by Marie Lu

Characters: i didn't really connect with any of the characters in Warcross. I kept trying to connect to the 
main character Emika and i couldn't find myself connecting with her or anyone else. i did like Emika though because she was intelligent and quick on her feet which was fun to see. Also toward the end the dynamics between her and her team was fun to witness as well.

Romance: The romance to me felt forced and not natural the love interest didn't really make any sense with Emika and it surely wasn't developed so by the end i felt no chemistry or attachment to the romance.

Plot: The plot was very slow in the beginning and then gave me whiplash at the end so the plot would've been better if it had been evenly spaced. The turn the story took at the end wasn't shocking and it was kind of predictable and i felt it didn't do anything to add to the story.

World building: I liked the world of Warcross at first i didn't like the way the virtual reality was executed but when the games started i liked it. I wish it had been developed and explained more but it was okay.

Writing: The writing seemed to lag a bit more than Marie's other books but it wasn't bad just something new to get used to.

Overall, i was pretty disappointed in this book it was not what i expected and i wouldn't recommend it unless you really want to see if you yourself like it. I won't be tuning in to the sequel unless I'm out of books to read. If you want to read an amazing Marie Lu work i would highly recommend The Young Elites and it's sequel The Rose Society those were amazing.
