I'm reading Matched by Ally Condie, which, okay, my main concern about this book was the love triangle, and I'm not sure if I want to say it's well done or not because it is in some ways, but, um, I also kind of don't believe she's really in love, so that's probably not good.
It's also making me want to read adult dystopia literature. I'm a big proponent of YA, but most YA isn't written in style conducive to that kind of backstory, if that makes sense? I just feel like I don't know enough about this world.
I think I like it when the dystopia's cause/effect isn't like, the main concern--some of my favorite novels have it as a background, but something else is the central conceit. IDK.
YES! Or, like I'm more interested in how they experience the world than necessarily rebelling against it? Like with the Hunger Games again, I don't care about them rebelling and creating a better world. I was interested in the world presented. I wanted to find out more about it.
But I think that should've came across more strongly somehow?
I finished it last night and it just left me with this weird feeling of wishing it had gone more in depth about everything. I don't know. I'm a huge fan of YA, but I've been taking a break from it and maybe I need to stick to that for a while. I think some of the tropes of the genre. are bugging me more than they should.
