Splintered

Hello butterfly,

Welcome to the part where I actually write about my book on time. Apparently I've been having problems with that, but whatever. It happens.

Today, I finished Splintered by one A. G. Howard. Alyssa, the main character, has had this problem where she can hear the whispers of flowers and insects and she's afraid it'll drive her insane. Like her mom, who's currently in an asylum. Alyssa and her mother are descendants of Alice Liddel, Lewis Carroll's inspiration for Alice in Wonderland, and all the women have been afflicted with the curse hence forth. So when Alyssa finds a chance to break this curse she takes it, but accidentally drags best friend/crush/dick Jeb with her. Falling down the rabbit hole leads the pair to discover a darker Wonderland, and [insert vague comment here].


So this book, amirite? It's crazy. First off, the writing is purple. PURPLE! And the actual writing was really good. Like the descriptions and stuff was amazing. I can only hope I write my debut as good as my girl A. G. Howard did. Alyssa was also dope. She was a cool chick.


What I didn't like was the love interests. Jeb, he was very overprotective. Like, captain of team too much. And then some of his reasoning's for past decisions and stuff gave me AIDS. He's ridiculous and a dick and I kind of hated him. My boy Morpheus, was dope, but he also did questionable things for questionable reasons. I was mad at him towards the middle end. That sucked because I was rooting for him before I even met him because Jeb was being a dick.

Other than them, I had a total of zero problems with the book. It was wonderfully written and character development was good. The world building was also awesome, seeing as she basically recreated  Wonderland.

Wow. Did I just give a real book review? I'm sure you're shocked, seeing as my content has been a little short of actual content. Who knew I had it in me? Not me. Anyway, on to the next one.

Ship: Jeb and his hand
Dope: Alyssa

9/10
