Customer Reviews

Actual rating: 2.5/5 (rounding to 3/5).

We all enjoy different types of books and this one (The Last Voyage of Poe Blythe) just happens to be a miss for me. It's good in a way but ultimately not for me. The only reason why I gave this rating was due to the fact that I wasn't completely sucked in the story. There were times when I just skimmed the pages because it couldn't keep my attention. To start, I've never felt any connection to any of the characters. I don't know if I'm too old for YA at this point but it just didn't connect with me. It almost felt like a chore reading this book. I struggle to talk about what I didn't like about this book because in the end, it's all about preference. For the most part though, this was a fairly ok new release. I think some teens will enjoy reading this book as much as they enjoyed reading Ally's former "Matched" series.
