![]() ![]() The rebellion didn’t even really start in Pawn, it was more of just a 300-ish page prologue to the real action which I assume takes place in Captive. If no one liked them – not even the members of the Hart family liked one another – then why did it take 70 years for there to be a rebellion. The government system wasn’t well explained, and I wasn’t entirely sure what purpose the Hart’s played in the Feudal system. ![]() Without giving away any spoilers, if you’re planning on reading Pawn, don’t trust anyone. I couldn’t wrap my head around who was good and who was bad, and I certainly couldn’t tell you whose side I was on! Despite all of this drama I wasn’t particularly surprised by the ‘big’ reveals, because they were so ludicrous and it would have been better had they not been introduced. I found myself getting really confused by the sheer amount of conspiracy plots in the Hart family. ![]() Pawn was a culmination of everyone’s favourite plot points, but unfortunately I didn’t think it was executed as well as it could have been as a result. With the sudden surge of dystopian YA, after the success of The Hunger Games, you can guarantee that if there is an interesting and dynamic plot point, which adds to the dystopian world, then it’s been done before. Pawn is your classic dystopian world, where people are separated by their intellect and one girl gets to transcend the levels to defeat ‘the government.’ On the plus side, I managed to get though Pawn extremely quickly, on the down side, I wasn’t surprised by anything. ![]()
