VERY mixed feelings. There will be a few raves, and a lot of rants.
But my issues in a nutshell:
* Sucky world-building. Come the fuck on. You're supposVERY mixed feelings. There will be a few raves, and a lot of rants.
But my issues in a nutshell:
* Sucky world-building. Come the fuck on. You're supposedly an Oracle, something that is deeply-rooted in mythology, and the only explanation we have of that is from a Grandma and from a book that shows you descended from one of the 10 Sybils? This very book supposedly records the last prophecies you answer? I is disappoint.
* I get that she was the school's social pariah because of her mumbling and anti-social behavior, but a tragedy strikes and now the two most popular guys in school go after her all of a sudden?
... T_T
* A mystery whodunit story whose killer was so fucking obvious from the very start. For someone who's supposedly smart enough to pick up clues and hints, she didn't catch on when it was too evident. /facepalm I can understand if it were from a third point of view, but we're looking at the story using HER perspective (first person) and if we can already guess it from her own thoughts and observations, why can't she? Yeah, fail.
* Seriously? That's the "closure" we get? It's like Half-Bad all over again, where we were made to anticipate so much and the climax turns out to be more anti-climactic than anything else. Ugh.
The good:
* I liked the writing. Internal narration was well written.
* Despite not seeing the obvious, I liked the main character.
* Grandparents = awesome
