A review by shanella
Misfit by Kelley Skovron
3.0
Pulling mythology from numerous sources and tying it together, Jon Skovron creates his own world world for Jael, a half demon and her father - an ex-monk who is running from the demon that killed his wife.
Being half demon, Jael’s family has been on the run from one of the dukes who is out to kill her. On her sixteenth birthday, a present from her mother released her powers and as she learns to wield them she also learns more about her past and find that she has to fight hard for her future.
For the most part, this book was a bit on the slow side as we were introduced to Jael’s world and the situation she found herself in. However, the way that it was executed was interesting enough to keep my attention.
The best parts of the story was the background on Jael’s parents, I enjoyed the way it was fleshed out, allowing the reader to understand Jael’s mother and also the reason her father is so overprotective.
I was also surprised to see that her father was so involved in her life, this is one of the few young adult books where we see the parent playing an important role and that was a bit refreshing.
Overall, it was a good read and quick read.
