I would have preferred reading about one or two little ones, and then the big one that occurred. Yes, I know she’s supposed to be very beautiful and the fact that she is branded with lust makes her an object of it – but the fact that she is attacked in about every chapter in the first two thirds of the novel was kind of repetitive. I felt that Lexi was attacked and saved a few too many times to be believable.
Yes, their relationship progressed quickly, but so did the rest of the novel, so I was persuaded to overlook it somewhat. Although, I personally hate it when guys use the word ‘babe’, or ‘baby’, so every time Cole called Lexi those names, I cringed a little on the inside. Hallelujah for the lack of a love triangle in this novel! I mean, in dystopian societies, it’s hard enough to find ONE boy that is worthy, let alone two, so I appreciated the reality of this relationship. I really liked Cole, Lexi’s love interest. And for that, I really admired her character. But most girls aren’t, or wouldn’t be in the situation presented to Lexi in Branded. She wasn’t perfect she wasn’t even particularly badass. I particularly liked and admired her strength of will, even in the face of danger and pain. She has suffered though a lot in her life, but is still standing on two feet, and hanging onto life, even though the life she is facing is far from perfect.
Our main character, Lexi, is very likeable in my opinion. At least, that’s how I felt when reading it. The writing style is the kind that draws you in and makes you want to read about everything that happens to the characters within. It’s pretty genius, and very different to anything I have read before in a dystopian novel.įrom the moment I started Branded, I did not want to stop reading. I love the idea that a corrupted dictatorship accuses people of sins, rather than crimes, and brands them accordingly.
My name is Lexi Hamilton, and this is my story.īranded had the potential of an amazing novel, but just had a few problems that prevented it from being so.īranded’s story is very unique. I’ve been accused of a crime I didn’t commit and now the Hole is my new home. Now LUST wraps around my neck like blue fingers strangling me. He created the Hole where sinners are branded according to their sins and might survive a few years. In his warped mind, the seven deadly sins were the downfall of society.
