There's no subtlety, no depth or any real emotion evoked in the nearly 300 pages of the book. Don't make them fade into the background until it's too late.Įxhibit C: The writing. If you're going to use the Egyptian gods as your main characters, make use of them. It's hard to stomach such a badly-written character.Įxhibit B: The Chaos of Stars uses the same theme so many other young adult novels fall prey too - magical girl, who is beyond gorgeous (of course) must wrestle with familial expectations while trying to figure out what she wants from life. If it doesn't directly concern Isadora herself, she is uninterested. She's boring, she's immature, judgmental, and impossible to care about. She doesn't even qualify for antihero status.
Surliness and self-absorption do not a character make.
It is a boring affair - full of instalove, a cheesy romance, and lackluster execution.Įxhibit A: Isadora's lack of personality. Instead of a new, fresh plot, the same old tropes and themes are trotted out to the reader's exasperation. The Chaos of Stars delivers Egyptian gods, sure - but shallow, lifeless representations of them. Opening Argument: Ladies and gentleman, I present to you a blurb that promises Egyptian gods, a creative new take for young adult supernatural fiction, and an interesting plot.
