Variant by Robison Wells
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
5 star book.
1 star ending.
End result? A 3 star book.
I agree with other reviewers that mentioned this is as a great read for Maze Runner fans. I definitely see this as a similarly styled story. I love the setting, the concept and the general "Who is doing this to these kids?" feel. What I didn't like was that after staying up late to finish this book, I have no idea how it ended. None. I read the ending 3 times, thinking I missed something. Still no idea. Then I read other reviews that contained spoilers thinking that they would explain it to me. However, no one did. How can a book with no defined ending have such a high overall review.
I would be tempted to read book 2...but I'm not willing to get sucked into a series that plays this game over and over. If there is a book 3, I'm definitely not bothering to read book 2. And, since YA dystopian authors appear to be compelled to only write trilogies, I'm assuming there will be a book 3...
