While browsing through the Kindle Store I came across this fantastic book, initially attracted to it by the price (or lack thereof!) I thought the description sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try.
I honestly find it hard to fault this book – the plot is excellent and the human characters are likeable and believable with the heroine being depicted as just an ordinary person who doesn’t think herself special or above others in any way which is a refreshing thing for this genre. The setting is atmospheric and the descriptions vivid and it is all round a brilliant book.
The only problem I had, and it is only minor, is that, at times, the dialogue seemed forced and stilted and didn’t flow well for me. I think this was because in a lot of places I found myself thinking ‘I would have used a contraction there’ and for me a lot of the characters felt too formal when talking to each other. However, I think this is just a matter of personal taste and it did not impede my enjoyment of the book.
This is definately a book that fans of the Hush Hush Saga and the Mortal Instruments Series should enjoy as well as anyone else who is a fan of the teenage fantasy genre.
Madison Adler has definately got me hooked as this book is a lot better written than some traditionally published novels that I have read and the plot is gripping. I can’t wait for the next installment in the series and will certainly be willing to pay for it.
