Wings by Aprilynne Pike
5.0

“Wings” was a very interesting novel about love and a young girl going through some very interesting changes in her life. This debut novel from author Aprilynne Pike is a wonderful debut at that. The story unfolds quite nicely with a cast of interesting characters and some wild twists
When I first started this novel I had no idea what was in store for me. The plot is believable in terms of what happens but at times I had a hard time relating to the main character Laurel and the decisions she has to make and her thought processes for example when the facts come into place that she is a faerie she resists and doesn’t want to believe it, if I found out I was a creature and different from everyone else I would be ecstatic.
I also find it very upsetting what the faeries did to her adopted family, just placing her there and plotting for them to take her in so they could get this land, I also see that they did this because they need this land to survive but there are other ways to get around it for example asking instead of giving them a daughter just for her to be taken away when they get what they want.On the other hand they did watch over the family and provided protection.
I did like the “love triangle” it was very believable and in this book it hasn’t evolved that much but it has gotten to a place where it is interesting for the reader and keeps them holding on waiting to see, that is also a good aspect of this book Pike keeps the reader wanting to know what will happen next.
All in all this was a good book with a story unfolds quite nicely with a cast of interesting characters and some wild twists. I may not have related to Laurel all the time but she proved her self in the novel and I have come to terms with what the faeries did and have come to love this book.
