The Glass Spare

“So many girls allow themselves to be bleeding idiots because that's what's expected of them. Dress like a girl. Walk like one. Eat like one. Desire the things a girl should desire, and nothing more - but how can that be called desire, if it's dictated.”

This book was different than I was expecting in a great way. I was concerned this was going to just be another book about a girl with special powers and oh no everyone fears her and ahh she is a special butterfly who overcomes it.

But I was presently surprised to find that there was way more character development with this book. I really enjoyed the scientific aspect of this book and how much focus there was on figuring out why Wil had these powers and what she could do with them.

I also really connected with Wil in terms of her desire to be her own person and not let others make decisions and shape who she should be. She wanted to be her own person and she slowly was able to work towards that in this book.

3.75 stars I was not expected to like this novel so much! I'm really enjoying these Owlcrate picks! I liked the characters a lot and the world building is super interesting. I don't really care for the unfolding romance, but I can't wait for the next one, and see what Wil gets up to.
