YA content with Elementary aged writing
Published by - , 2 years ago
The content within this trilogy is definitely on the YA side, but the writing style of the author heavily leans towards elementary aged style (short sentences, very few complex words or sentences longer than ~10 words). If you/your kid isn't a super strong reader but want the "older" content, this would be a good fit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading it, but did find it hard to get through the third book.
Similar style to the Selection series.

I really enjoyed the book once I got through the beginning and started to understand it! I was a little confused on the facts if the book, but after time it started to make sense. Really good characters and plot! It does leave you on a cliff hanger though, so have the next book ordered!
Pretty good

I saw this as a book to read if you liked the selection. In many regards, it did remind me of the Selection by Kiera Cass. I would recommend this if you liked that series. I still have to read the last 2 books in the series.

This was the best series I've ever read! It is similar to hunger games but in more of a fantasy setting. Being able to follow Violet through her journey as she faces this new world she is a part of is the most amazing experience! Perfect mix of action, mystery, fantasy, and romance! Ten out of ten, must recommend!
