a superpower roller coaster

Damn where to even start when it comes to this book the characters were all amazing they really felt like real people the plot was great it kept me interested the entire time even when I kind of figured where it was going I didn't actually mind it at all I'm actually kind of red faster cuz I wanted to see if I was right. I will admit I'm a huge Marissa Mayer fan I love all her books she truly isn't talented writer and with Renegades she just continues to get better her World building is amazing and holy crap that ending just kept me hugs and I cannot wait for the second book.

One of my favorite things about the book is just how diverse the cast is and she did it in a way that didn't feel forced like a lot of authors work does. I love how it does switch point of views and you do get to see the internal struggle that's the two main characters are going through. I really can't wait to get in even deeper in the next book.

Livvy's character was kind of relatable at times. (0 more)

Grammatical errors throughout. (3 more)

Hardly any background or character development.

Beginning was a bore.

Parts didn't make sense.

Not the greatest read.

The beginning was very boring and did not grab my attention at all. There were grammatical errors littered throughout the entirety of the novel and parts that didn't make any sense.

Will I reread? No. Not really my cup of tea. Do I recommend? I mean if you like stories that are a bit juvenile and feel like they were rushed, with hardly any character or background development - then sure.

pacing gets a litle complicated and the flow is disrupted (0 more)

A very complex world set in a small Nevada town during 1869. R. S. Belcher grabs your interest and keeps you guessing on the intricate happenings of this strange town, Golgotha.
Seeped in lore and the paranormal it makes me wish I knew a bit more about Tarot as the chapters are named after one of the cards and I know I have missed a bit of the intricate layers that are contained in this book. This book does get a little esoteric and has some weighty comments on religion but doesn't preach at you and lets you make your own decisions. It is an appropriate product of the time it is set in (1869) so there are a few racist comments that show a small bit of what may have been like in the wild west or America around the time of the Civil War.
The flow of the book stunted me a little until I got used to flashbacks and realized that you back tract on the day for a different p.o.v., it added depth to the characters and world.
