My thoughts and review for Quinn and The Metropolis
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5

Thank you so much to the author Ms. Jay Pillerva for giving me a digital copy of your book in exchange for an honest review❤️

In the story, we follow our main character Quinn Vasquez, a new high school student at St. John's Academy. A typical girl who needs to deal with high school crushes and school works. However, when she started having nightmares of Cassandra, her so-called evil "twin" and encounters a bunch of students who would kill each other just for a box of pizza, she realized her life in the Metropolis wasn't so typical or normal at all.

"For sure, my mind wasn't the friendliest place I'd ever encountered."
Normal isn't included in this book's vocabulary. I thought it would be a cute and chill story but I was caught off guard by how thrilling it was. The world-building was great, plot was interesting, writing style was good and illustrations were amazing that definitely helped in creating scenes in my head. The characters were kind of okay for me, sadly I didn't really felt a connection with them. However, I do admire Quinn for her bravery I mean, if I were her and I've been having non-stop nightmares & seen zombies in the streets of Metropolis I would not survive even a second! In addition, I can't stop smiling because of the moments Quinn and Curtis shared together, though it can be really cheesy that I can't take it sometimes.

"We influence people by the way we act toward them."

It was indeed fun and an exciting read but it can be quite confusing at times because it was really fast-paced that some scenes and topics of the chapter weren't addressed properly. Also, there are moments where I felt disconnected and lost because a lot of twist and turns were happening that I need to process first. Don't get me wrong I love YA Fantasy that offers a lot of twists but it wasn't really delivered well in my opinion. On the brighter side, I enjoyed it and that ending was a total cliffhanger! Quinn and The Metropolis deserve to have a spot in every reader's TBR list! Definitely will read the second book❤️

Spread love and goodness as always,
