When I read the
synopsis to this book I thought that it had amazing potential and while reading
the beginning I still thought that. The beginning was a little slow but other
than that it was a new and original concept. Her father created a machine that
can grant wishes. But what they’re really doing can have so many consequences
that they haven’t even thought of.
The book had a slow
start but once we got into the middle it started to pick up some. I think that
the author spent too much time explaining the machine and how it works. I am
not really a science girl so those parts were boring to me. The concept of the
Cricket Project was unbelievable but to me in a way that works. It was
interesting and original.
There were other
parts of the story line that I liked. I liked Darren’s part in this book. He
has two parents that are there for him but they struggle financially. So
different from Lyra who has one parent who is never there and money. The
romance was a bit forced and predictable but it gave us a better-rounded story
line.
The only part I
really really didn’t like was the end. The end felt rushed and completely unbelievable.
I mean a teenager got into a government facility and out and only got caught
after she released everything. There just wasn’t enough to it to pull me in and
make it feel real.
One Wish Away was
interesting and I can only hope the second book is better.
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to read and review my work! It really means a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnd those cliff hangers. What a mean author! I promise the sequel will be worth it.
Thanks again!
