I will say that Parvin wasn't my favorite. That lended an interesting gravity to the world and the story. It really made the world feel vast and realistic, like something our world could turn into in the future. She had unique, distinct cultures and settings that really encompassed the reader and drew me in. It was really cool to see the different settings that Parvin moved through. I've long been a fan of survival stories and the wild world Parvin learns to navigate was thrilling and totally scratched that itch for me. Anything goes in this story and that terrified me at some points in the story. I learned quickly that she doesn't pull punches. I need to know what happens, even though I'm pretty sure Nadine isn't finished emotionally scarring me for the rest of my life. And I am STILL not happy with that ending!! So not happy I immediately purchased books 2 & 3. It was worth pushing through that slower beginning.Īlongside the intense storyline, the book was an emotional rollercoaster. I swear my heart got a workout reading this book. We'd go through some tense moments and then breathe for a second and then dive right into the tension again. Boy howdy did things pick up after that! I felt like we jumped off a cliff and free falled for the next half of the book! There were some intense sections of this story. Then she went over the Wall (which the back cover blurb says, so it's not much of a spoiler). The beginning was interesting in the world and seeing the relationships Parvin had with other characters, but the plot was slow and I had to keep sticking with it just waiting to see where Nadine was going to take this. I felt like there had to be something coming I just didn't know what. I spent the whole first third of the book tip toeing around, waiting for the shoe to drop.
Didn't even read the blurb-so not like me.
Well, one day she posted a video mashup of things that represented A Time to Die and after hearing her name praised for so long and watching the most epic vibe video ever, I took the dive and bought the book. And I've been following her IG for several months now because I love her personality and the content she puts out. So, let me preface: I've heard Nadine's name floating around for a few years now among my writerly circles.
