soffi_ramirez 's review for:
The Kingdom of Back
by Marie Lu
I was pleasently surprised by this book.
I love Nannerl; I'll fight anyone about it. She's a great MC, she's driven and strong, but her character struggles are credible against the time and place she grew up. Her relationship with Worfel is endearing and very much believable most of the time, so another good point for me.
The story can be separated into the real world and the kingdom of back, with the magic in it seeping into reality in a very nice way. However, I enjoyed far more the real world than the magical realm and sometimes when we would go back to the kingdom I was kind of too excited to read what happened in the real world to really care? I don't know, I felt more strongly about the real world and enjoyed it far more than the fantasy world.
I'm debating myself between a 3 or a 3.5, but for now I'll leave it like this. I've never read anything from Marie Lu before, so this is a good start for me on her writing!
