I was curious about what type of world Charlie's would be. It started out really good too: with Queen Sabara transferrring her power. It's the same power that got me more curious. Charlie's world is a more different since that it's language that kept the people apart. I wanted to know more of Queen Sabara and her power; I wanted to know how their world worked. Sadly a good deal of THE PLEDGE deals with Charlie and Max' romance~ the same romance that developed too quickly. In fact a lot of this was predictable:There 's Charlie, Brooklyn and Aron, besfriends. I was predicting jealousy and a not too good bestfriend. I got all that from Brooklyn. I even saw the makings of bestfriend loves you but you don't know it. Not that any of that bugged me (much) because with Max in the picture I was befuddled, by what? Their sudden love and his overprotectiveness! There's potential in this one but given the characters, I didn't love it as much as I was hoping to. (I seriously struggled to recall the MC's name just as I was going to type this up!) 2.25/5Thanks Simon & Schuster!
