Rating: 4.3/5 1. **Plot and Storytelling:** 3/5 The strength of this book isn’t necessarily the plot. Honestly, I found the plot a little lacking and slow, but the story captivates you with its mystery, intrigue, and raw emotion. 2. **Characterization:** 4/5 I love the characters in "Flock." They are brilliant, flawed, lovable, and frustrating all at once. They evolve throughout the book and really shine. The only thing is they might be a little larger than life, but in my experience, some people are just that way. 3. **Writing Style:** 4/5 Kate Stewart wrote an excellent novel. Her strength truly shows in the raw emotion and the roller coaster she takes you on. I did feel the plot was slow at times and maybe even a little frustrating, but it keeps you hooked, and the entire thing is a great ride. 4. **Originality:** 5/5 I haven’t ever read a novel like this one. It felt entirely unique, and I look forward to more. 5. **Emotional Impact and Resolution:** 5/5 The emotional impact is where this book absolutely shines. The ending hits you hard, and I can’t wait to get to the next book. 6. **Spice:** 5/5 The book wasn’t the most erotic or the craziest thing I’ve ever read, but it was enjoyable. It was detailed enough without being overly graphic, and overall, it was just a fun time.
