Review: Wouldn't a 120 Year Old Know Better?
Rating: 3 out of 5

First of all, I'd like to say that overall I thought the writing was good. However, there were so many issues with different aspects of the story that I can't justify giving a higher rating.We are first introduced to Liliana as a 120 year old Sin Collector, who is working in a library with a boss she doesn't like, has only one friend and a cat.  As a "Collector", she doesn't need to eat or sleep.  She can feel other people's sins and therefore tries not to be too close to too many people at one time as too many sins can overwhelm her.  Which is why Collectors are unable to be near each other.With these rules set in place the story begins.  Unfortunately, Liliana reacts more like the 20 year old she looks like than a 120 year old who has absorbed hundreds of other people's sins.  If she had acted in anyway like the adult she is supposed to be many of the things that happened would not have occurred. In addition, so many of the rules kind of get changed as the story progresses. I didn't understand why the rules were so stringently told only to throw so many of them away as the action began.However, even with all of the above much could have been forgiven, except for the ending.  It was unnecessary (won't say more due to spoilers), but the ending would be improved by just about any other ending than she gave.
