i wanted to love it so bad, but i found that it wasn’t particularly memorable or unique. My feelings for this book are a little all over the place. i love characters with history! it makes their romance more believable. On a plus side, this book features ex’s to rivals to allies to something more? it’s a big confusing mess to explain, but it works really well within the story. we need to be rooting for the main characters). i didn’t really care if she lived or died (which isn’t a good thing. she wasn’t particularly likeable nor was she hate-able. Koral was an interesting character for the author to use as an mc. this is a popular trend at the moment, and i’m 100% loving it. race a polar bear or something?)Īnother thing i loved was the south asian inspiration. (i kinda wish they raced a different kind of creature though. it adds a layer of tension and creates a fast paced book. unfortunately, due to the similarities with other books, i found monsters born and made forgettable.Īnyway. (i’ve seen a lot of people compare it to the hunger games, but aside from the setting and a vague competition, there’s no other similarities). it was off putting and kept disrupting my reading experience. It’s probably a reach to call them similar, but i couldn’t stop thinking about skandar while reading it. while this point is irrelevant because plenty of books feature it: they’re both dystopian in setting. but these things pull a chariot, so i’m assuming they’re horse-like).
(i could be wrong on the horse connection for monsters born and made, seeing as there’s also water creatures. firstly, we have aggressive magical horse like creatures that get used in racing competitions. The first thing that really stood out to me was the similarities between monsters born and made and skandar and the unicorn thief. (yes, i understand how tropes work, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out how it should).
this book had a lot of interesting ideas thrown in, but also a lot of things that felt too similar to other books.
it was a rollercoaster of things happening and trying to remember everything. I have a lot of thoughts about this book.
