Analiese Rising by Brenda Drake
3.0
Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was a pretty good start to a great Ya series. Annalise is a complex teen that embarks on a journey to discover who she really is and the mystery behind her parents death. Marek is decent secondary character although we could have benefited from reading his point of view. We only have Annalise perspective.
I was surprised on how modern the novel felt. From the way the characters spoke to the diverse background of each new character. Everything read like it could be happening right now. While this was creative, I did feel a bit disconnected from the whole Greek mythology bit that was thrown in. I felt like it didn't fit in this 21st century world the author has created.
All in all, the novel is interesting and entertaining.
