Review | Scar (Skin Books #3) by Alice Broadway

“I told the girl that I loved my scars. And I do. My scars tell my story more clearly than any ink.” 2/5 stars!

NK taught Leora that all was not what it seems on the surface.
SPARK taught her that there are two sides to every story.
Now Leora has had enough of lessons – she wants to make her own story.

The explosive finale to the best-selling INK trilogy sees Leora struggling to reconcile her past and her future – and recognising that there may be no easy answers.

Oh, the conclusion for this trilogy wasn’t better. I wanted to end this series on a high note, but I ended up reducing my rating again.

Once again, what bothered me the most in this book was the constant nonsense. Nothing makes sense. The dialogs lead to nowhere, the characters do unexplainable things for weird reasons… the writing is so weird!

One thing that happened a lot is that a new element is introduced (character, situation, etc.), but after a while then you understand it wasn’t relevant to the story. For example in the second book, Gull’s bother was introduced and I was super sure he was going to form a love triangle with Leora and the other guy (can’t even remember his name) because he was getting so much attention… it turns out, he wasn’t relevant in the end. Things like that happened all the time in all of the books, and it made the pacing very awkward because you expect something to happen and then it never happens.

On a side note: I was scared when I read about the immortality thing. I genuinely thought to myself “Are you serious, I can’t believe I’m reading this”. It turns out, it wasn’t really a thing (thank God). If you read the book, you know what I’m talking about.

I’m sad because I really wanted to love this trilogy. As soon as I read the synopsis for the first book, I was immediately captivated, but the execution ruined these books. What a shame.
