Passenger

3.5 Stars

I'm struggling with how to rate this. On the one hand, the first 150 or so pages of this book were a huge struggle. I enjoy Alexandra Bracken's writing and the idea of this world, but I was so lost and confused and just plain bored for the part of the book.

Once the story had a clear direction and Etta and Nicholas were on their journey, the book really picked up.

The second part of this book was fantastic, I loved the direction the story, the growth of the character's relationship and the people they met along the way. There were even some twists and turns that I did not see coming.

That being said, you need to go into this book aware of the fact that the story will most likely not hook you until around 150 pages in. But don't give up, once it does pick up it is a great tale of different worlds and different times. I really hope Wayfarer picks up where Passenger left off and continues the tale without the slow beginning.
