I really wanted to like this book, but it was just terrible. The dialogue was awful; it just didn't sound natural. The main character of the book was annoying and not likable. Really none of the characters were likable. Once again there was the obligatory forced romance which I am really getting sic...
The idea behind this book is interesting, and I think I could have enjoyed it a lot more if it didn't suffer from the weird, stilted romance, and the shaky world building. The Ward is a dystopian novel that takes mixes two staples of mankind's story-telling - the Great Flood myth, and the search for...
At a Glance:The Ward was a high adrenaline story that had all the elements that make you feel things in books. There were car races and chases, government conspiracies, cities covered in undrinkable water, loves that rival any I've read about, and huge surprise that completely changes what you thou...
2.5 starsThe cover to this book is what originally drew me in and had me begging to read it. Sadly, the contents of the this is not as striking as its cover. The Ward by Jordana Frankel was a book I wanted to love so bad, but it failed to meet any of my expectations. What I did like: Main character...
See more of my reviews on Birth of a New Witch! My copy was an ARC I received from the publisher via Edelweiss.As much as I dislike Divergent, I respect it a little because it's now successful enough for me to say stuff like "fans of Divergent will love it" or call a book a rip-off of it. Fans looki...
Another one to bite the dust. I haven't had the best of luck with dystopians lately. It may just be that I'm burnt out from them in general, though I'm likely just tired of the same formula in every single one. Sure this one had a slightly original premise with the world being in water etc, but it's...
The Ward was one of my most anticipated 2013 reads. I liked parts of it, but the more I think about it, the more problems I have. First of all, you should know that I had a completely different expectation of what this book was going to be about. Which was totally my fault by the way, but it doesn't...
I received this eARC from HarperTeen via Edelweiss.Originally posted at Gypsy ReviewsThe Ward’s premise stands out amongst YA dystopia novel with it’s unique concept of our world becoming overflooded with water and the difficulty of procuring water which was once so easy to get. However, the story-t...
3.5 stars for The Ward. This is an action packed novel which had me turning the pages to find out just who was on whose side. I get the impression that, although this looks like it is a standalone novel, there will be more to come for these characters.The Ward takes place in a post Wash Out New Yo...
