A review by desertlover
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
5.0
As a fan of The Dark Minds Trilogy , I was thrilled after reading the synopsis for this new series from Alexandra Bracken. While the subject matter is vastly different, the unique style found in TDM was prevalent throughout Passenger . I could not have enjoyed it more and cannot wait for the next installment.
While it's difficult to describe, here are a few highlights of things I enjoyed most about this book:
* Diversity - Nicholas Carter is a biracial hero living in the 18th Century. He's intelligent, loyal, and complex. I adored him from the first few chapters, but he's faced with countless obstacles from the beginning, but it never deters his character.
* Strong heroine - Etta is amazing; she's brave, selfless, and self sufficient. While she has somewhat of a bond of Nicholas, she is confident in her own abilities to save herself.
*Storylines - NO spoilers, but it's a new spin on time travel aspect. I look forward to discovering more.
* Detailed - There is complex world building and small details that are often overlooked in historical fiction. It truly felt as if I were on a ship and all the locations described in the book.
* No love triangle - It is so overdone in the YA world, and I am rejoicing there does not appear to be one in sight here.
Thank to you Disney-Hyperion and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book.
