I was a bit hesitant upon learning that a ghost writer had taken over the series after they fired Smith, so I read this one: a. to see what the commotion was about, and b. to continue reading the series in general. This was absolutely atrocious and did such a dishonor to the series, the characters, and especially to Smith. The characters threw away all their development from Smith's writing. It felt like ghost writer had a personal grudge that she took out on the characters in this book. What a waste.

I thought The Divide by L.J. Smith was a fun read overall. It has that classic 90s YA fantasy vibe, which made it feel kind of nostalgic and different from a lot of newer fantasy books. The story moves fast, so I never got bored, and the whole idea of “The Divide” being this hidden world full of weird magical creatures was super interesting to me. One thing I liked most was the atmosphere. The world felt mysterious and a little creepy in a good way, and I liked discovering everything alongside Adam. The fantasy elements were creative without being too complicated, so it was easy to get into. That said, I do think some parts felt a little rushed, and a few characters could’ve had more depth. The writing style is also pretty simple compared to a lot of fantasy books now, but I didn’t mind because it kept the story moving. I’d give it a 4/5. If you like quick fantasy reads with supernatural creatures, adventure, and that older YA style, I’d recommend it.

I didn't know it wasn't written by L.J. Smith till reading other reviews. The entire time readings it I felt like it was a fanfic that got published. Didn't feel like Smith and did not stay true to the characters at all. Not a bad plot but not for this series.
