A review by lyrasbookshelf
The Toll by Neal Shusterman

3.75

A decently engaging series with consistent quality throughout. The only aspects not to my taste was the lack of on-page development of some vital aspects to the story, such as the romance between Citra and Rowan. Since we don't see their feelings developing, the whole thing feels incredibly forced. The author repeats this with
Greyson and Purity
and
Rand and Tyger
, and then finally gets it right with
Greyson and Jerico


As for Rand, her whole
change of heart
wasn't all that believable to me. She was a completely different person in the first book, and since her feelings for
Tyger
felt nonsensical (as we do not see them developing), it was hard to believe that she'd change because of what she did to him.

But overall a good read and I'm glad I decided to pick up the series.
