Unmade

I love Sarah Rees Brennan. Why? Because of the beautiful characters and relationships she writes. That makes or breaks every single book for me. The plot could be awful and unbelievable and I'll read it forever for those characters. So 5 stars for faceted and interesting characters! But it has to be 3 stars overall, because the plot never really jived with me. There was a lot of flowery language that didn't fully explain the situation, and I also felt things got a bit repetitive throughout the whole series. I was also constantly confused about why these heroes even had a chance. It appeared that the villain was of the dumbest and egotistical sort, because he could have done away with the whole town in book one and then what would we have? Instead he kept fumbling around, being awful but never quite *too* awful. Also, the dialogue is A+! I love Brennan's quick wit, and this was showed off beautifully. I was constantly giggling over hilarious rebuttals from the women in the story. Read this series for the dialogue, if nothing else!
