Passenger by Alexandra Bracken has been one of the most anticipated books of the year for so many people, including myself. I'm sure most people have heard of it by now, so I'm just going to jump right into my thoughts and review for this book.
This book takes a lot of commitment and concentration to become immersed in this world. The writing is absolutely beautiful, but it's lacking in some parts. The world to which Passenger is based in is a very complicated one with a lot of small things that connect for a overall big picture. The world building in this book is absolutely stunning. You see what the characters are seeing and you feel like if you look up you'll be there, too. I feel there was so much focus on the world building that we lost some character building. You don't find out a lot of what is going on and why until later on in the book. That is what tends to make this book boring and hard to get through because not only is the character in the dark about what's going on, the reader is also in the dark about what's going on. There are little clues about what's going on but you don't find out until about page 200. If you can make it to there, the plot really takes off and you're left in a whirlwind of adventure and betrayal.
