.................................... The Blurb ....................................
The only hope for humanity isn’t human.In a world where people have been all but wiped out by a virus created by part-human cyborgs called ‘Partials’, and where no baby survives longer than three days, a teenage girl makes it her mission to find a cure, and save her best friend’s unborn child.
But finding a cure means capturing a Partial…
.................................... My Thoughts ....................................
In Short
- I was close to putting Partials down but thankfully carry on through the slower paced chapters.
- Partials goes into so much details, sometimes too much.
- Dan has created a world so different from ours which felt so real.
- The males in Partials are all swoon worthy.
In Long
I will start this review by saying Partials is proof that
you should never review a book unless you have read it ALL, you definitely
can’t judge a book until you have finished it.
The reason I say this is because I was very close to putting Partials
down, I still felt some of these things right until the end, how the storyline
grew was more than enough to keep me reading it though!
Let’s start with the negatives to get it out the way.
Partials is definitely challenging, it goes into so much detail about so many
different things and a lot to do with science, I often found myself confused
because there is so much to take in. I found myself panicking because I
couldn’t understand what was happening, luckily though you aren’t expected to
understand everything and it this doesn’t ruin the book at all because things
slowly become more clearer. I am not saying that things being described in
detail is a bad thing, it shows the author has thought about everything in
great detail, it was more that I felt the amount of the detail was too much and I
found myself becoming a bit bored. Another thing for me was the names, all very
unique I often forgot who was who when it came down to the soldiers etc.
Putting the two negative things to the side, I loved
Partials, that shows because I gave it 4 stars. Dan has created a new world
from the one we know and I could quickly see that Dan had really thought about
this world to such detail that it made it feel very real for me. I was able to
become engrossed in Kira’s world, feel all the different characters feelings
and imagine the world for myself.
The characters are all strong and I warmed to them all. The
males in the book are most definitely swoon worthy but in their own ways. They
all had strengths and weaknesses which added to the storyline as they reacted
differently in the different situations. As the storyline became more intense I
enjoyed seeing how each character were able to deal with that situation,
whether they could trust the people around them and how loyal they were. The
few twists in the book were twists I didn’t see coming at all.
Final Thoughts
Partials is a great book with a storyline that grows as you get further into the book, I couldn’t put it down to the end, desperate to see what was going to happen next.
