The fire that would destroy and consume her…” How many times does one need to write the fire? Many of the sentences are just reworded versions of the one that came before it. Some examples would be, “She walked down the road, the road that was smooth.” Or “The fire that raged within her. It also illustrates another example, the banal repetitiveness. There was an overuse of commas, “For days upon days she had been left in the room, alone, in total silence, with little food and water, the weight of solitude becoming ever more oppressive, the silence a heaviness that she could not shake, punishment for refusing to do as she was told, punishment for being what she was.” I ran out of breath just reading that incredibly long, run-on sentence. Those completely detracted from the book and made it difficult to read the novel fluidly. It was a poorly written novel with a multitude of punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors. A place that maybe she can live a good life and not spend each day fearful that she will be discovered.įor an established YA writer, this book is surprisingly wrought with errors and would make an English major cringe.
