Measure of Days is a fast paced and well thought out novel. The main character is so easy to connect with. A great read for sci fi lovers and is quite relevant for society at the moment,

First of all thank you NetGalley for approving my request to be able to read this book.

The Measure of Days is exciting from the beginning and easy to finish really quickly because there is always something going on.

We get a girl, Deter, who lives her ordinary life till she gets kidnapped. She is Immune to the so called FED virus. Her whole life changed after she gets to know more.
The only thing that was a bit struggle for me in reading is the changing point of views, but as the story itself was easy to follow with time I got used to it and grown to like the other characters too.

Somehow the book gave me a bit of The Maze Runner and Divergent vibe. If you liked those series you definitely will be a fan of this book too and I do recommend it for those readers.

Thanks to Matador for providing a digital ARC of Measure of Days in exchange for an honest review.

All of my favourite parts of Measure of Days were things I'd normally hate in other books. Measure of Days is incredible short, coming in to about 150 pages on the e-copy I read and despite this has one of the highest perspective counts of anything I've ever read. The thing is though, it works. Measure of Days' strongest point is its world, not its characters so by frequently switching from character to character, the world quickly becomes established and pulls you into its intrigue.

There is also a lot of showing-not-telling in this book, but I found myself far less bothered than I normally am by that kind of thing. It fit into the writing style and pace so you don't even really notice it unless you're looking for it. My favourite thing about Measure of Days is that it proves that not all stories are best told following the rules you learn in writing class. Measure of Days breaks them with style.

Things I didn't like:
- Lincoln. The absolute worst. The way he talked and thought drove me insane and every single time a character talked to him they became more and more tainted to me.
- Deter (after Lincoln, obviously) is one of the least interesting characters to me but I have a strong feeling she's going to soon become the main focus of every other perspective.

I'd like to thank Netgalley, the publishers and the author of this book approving my request for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Deter is an ordinary girl, or, she thinks she is. But all changes when she is captured and taken away from those that protected her and finally learns the truth about her importance as an immune to help save the world from a flesh-eating virus also known as FED. Her life is completely altered as she is thrown into a world she does not know, only that nothing will be the same for her again.

I thought the premise of this book was interesting and I was excited to read more about what would happen. The description of how the vaccine backfired and affected everyone was unique and fascinating to read about. The book is fast-paced and quick to read although for me that also made it an issue at times.

I found myself growing confused so early on into the book with the continuous switching of narratives and past and present times (At the beginning). The constant change of scenery, whether from switching of narrative or moving of the plot took me out of the story quite a lot. I found myself unable to figure out what was going on at times and had to read and reread some paragraphs and chapters twice over just to get a better sense of what was happening.

There are so many changes of narratives and stories it's like three books moulded into one, and I wish I was able to read and have an interest in all of them but I found it too difficult to concentrate.

This book was fairly good and a fast paced read. I really enjoyed how the disease was portrayed and the characters were unique and well written. I did feel like at times the shifting perspectives took me out of the story a bit. I almost wished that the book would have just stayed in Deter's point of view. I also would have liked to see a better wrap up of all the characters. Overall, I would recommend this book.
