21. PROMISE

The first thing I noticed about the prologue was quite a beautiful little poem of sorts, which was very deep and drew me in immediately. Such prologues are a very good idea, and I am glad that authors still do them. 

Coming to the first chapter of the book, I noticed that the first line- the one in italics- had a different tense from the rest of the chapter, which is written in past tense. This threw me off slightly as a reader, for it just does not fit right.

When I review Teen Fiction, I am always looking for some book that will defy the stereotypes of that genre and really stand out. This caused me to not be very pleased with the beginning of the chapter, which involved a girl waking up from a nightmare- one of the most cliche beginnings on Wattpad. I would suggest that the chapter begin with the main character getting into the car, or eve better, with her getting off the car and taking a good look at her new school.

That being said, I found the rest of the chapter quite interesting. The writing style, save for a few things, is actually quite pleasant to read, and the dark, ominous vibe the book sets off with the gates swinging open by themselves after the cameras look at the main character was quite enthralling, and I really liked it. 

Final Rating: 7/10
