***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: This felt like a debut that was rushed to press, and I wish the editor and publisher had given it more time to percolate, because in its current state the science (really magic, or myth) is convoluted, the characteriz...
Typical YA fare--I enjoyed it. Plot centers on a girl's coming of age. She must choose to follow one of two paths: the future she always thought she wanted, or the future she now wants. Fairly fast-paced, with just a few too many characters to really keep track of all the aunts/uncles. She pulled of...
Truth be told, I picked up Origin only because I saw the cover of Vitro, which I thought was gorgeous. I loved it the moment I laid my eyes on it and when I learnt that it's the second book in the series, I decided I had to read the first, so I would have a reason to hold the pretty white cover with...
Content warnings:-animal abuse-racism-sexism(3.5 stars) What really attracted me to Origin was its concept and setting: a girl is made to be the first of an immortal race deep in the rainforest.

so much potential... something was lacking for me... I just can't put my finger on it.and insta-love. Nothing worse than insta-love. I wish the relationship would have built up over more time. I hate it when the entirety of a book takes place in a very short time span. Makes everything feel rushed. ...
My Rating: 2.5 I've seen Origin everywhere (and now, since I have the ARC in hand, that makes sense, I mean, 250,000 copy announced on first print run? Whoa). On a cold Wednesday back in September, when I was making a trip to Barnes & Noble, I happened to see a huge tall stack of Origin on the floor...
