At first I didn't know what to think or make of this book. It was a little confusing at first. But after a few pages in I understood it. This book is told from 3 p.o.v.'s really. Ten is a young female who gets locked away in a building for those young people who havent picked a side for their after life. Myriad and Troika are realms that are fighting a war on whose side is basically better. For Ten she doesn't want to pick. She is close to being 18 and believes it shouldn't be forced upon her to pick a side. The workers at the place torture people to get their way. But Ten withstands all of that, their are two guys trying to convince her to pick a side. Believing one side is better. But can Ten stay true to herself and not pick? They threaten her friends to get her to choose.
But will not picking make a mess of everuthing even more?

There is a lot to say about this story, from the characters to the defining event it pulls you in and keeps you captive. I love the tug of war the main character does. She bends and bows but is still strong to her core, even if it tortures her to be. I am not a big fan of the ending and had hoped it would go a different way but it also wasn't a terrible ending to a first story. I look forward to continuing the series

Hoewel in het verhaal van Eerste leven ook genoeg clichés zitten, vind ik het boek in het algeheel origineel. Zelfs de driehoeksverhouding is origineel ingestoken en maakte het verhaal extra leuk. De wereld is erg interessant; de wereld van het eerste leven, en bovenal de wereld van het tweede leven en wat daaruit voortkomt. Het verhaal heeft mij vooral in de tweede helft weten te verrassen en laten meeleven, en ik kon het boek dan ook niet meer wegleggen. Genoten heb ik van de dynamiek tussen Tenley, Killian en Archer, maar zeker ook van de wijsheden en mooie quotes. Mooi is ook de opbouw van het verhaal waarbij dingen die benoemd zijn in het begin, op het eind terugkomen. Eerste leven is een fijn en makkelijk boek om te lezen, en wat mij betreft een aanrader.

It’s a good book and I want to know how everything goes and I don’t really want to put it down but there are a lot of questions I have that I haven’t gotten answers to. I do however love the way she have written it, the pov, it’s like reading someones(Ten’s)thought and it’s hilarious. And as the sucker for love and drama that I am... Love that. It’s worth reading.
