Afterworlds

I had a hard time rating this book. 2.5 stars.

My first Scott Westerfeld book. I have never heard anything but great reviews about his works. I was excited to be drawn into the two different worlds of this story. Both plot lines intrigued me, both characters sounded so likable, and finally I was reading Scott Westerfeld.

I've never been so disappointed in my life.

The writing was weak, the characters annoying, the romance in Lizzie's story had instalove, but at the same time no live at all her relationship with Yamaraj (or however you spell his name) felt nonexistent. Darcy was impractical and naive, which made it hard for me to like her. I preferred Darcy's story to Lizzie's, but they both didn't work.
