Passenger Full Review

     Alexandra Bracken is a science fiction and fantasy author. She is known for The Darkest Minds series that was published in 2012. I really enjoyed the first book. I really struggled to finish the second one. Then I could not get through the last one. I read reviews online to see how it ended. This new book Passenger has me fully intrigued.
     We follow Etta, a young violin prodigy, as she embarks on a strenuous journey with a young man, Nicholas. Both of their fates are intertwined and they need to come together to save the future. The book includes puzzles, fights, and love as Etta tries to save her mother from the evil Ironwoods.
     There are some things that work and don't work in this book for me. Overall I love this world that Bracken has constructed. It is easy to understand, detailed, and complex. I want to know more about it and they families that are involved in it. Something that doesn't work for me is love story between Etta and Nicholas. It feels very instant for me. I'm interested to see how their characters develop in the next book.
     Plot: The plot flowed very nicely for me. I loved how quick the setting changed, yet I could fully picture each place. It had a very good pace and did not feel rushed. I also could not really predict too much in this book. I could not predict that ending, at all.
     Characters: I still am not a fan of Etta and Nicholas. I appreciate how brave and smart both of them are, but they still have too many flaws for me to fully fall in love with them. I am hoping this will change in the second book. I didn't really like ether of their character development.  
     Writing Style: I really enjoyed the writing style. Again it flowed very nicely and everything was beautiful. I really enjoyed how everything is so descriptive and detailed. I could picture myself in the scene as if I was watching the characters go about the story.
     Final Thoughts: I loved this quick read and I gave it a 4/5 stars on Goodreads. I loved the plot and writing style so much that I can overlook Etta and Nicholas's instalove.
