Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle
5.0
There are books that haunt us, that obsess us, that make reading a new story almost impossible, because the story we've just read has touched us to the very depths of our being. Curious Tides is one of those books for me.
Emory, a young woman returning to university after the tragic death and disappearance of several students, of whom she is a survivor. We follow this young woman who will do anything to find her missing best friend. Emory is forced to renew his relationship with Baz, a member of Eclipse House.
The author's writing is beautiful and clear. The author has created a world that is easy to grasp. Of course, there is still so much to discover. The description of the characters' emotions is gripping. I loved both hating and loving certain characters, or even feeling deep sadness for others. The magic system based on the phases of the moon is a fantastic idea!
Baz, bearer of the magic of the eclipse, the son-time! He's my favourite character. I love it when a male character exposes his fears and weaknesses, while showing immense courage to venture off the beaten track.
Kai is a character who touched me deeply. I saw in him a younger version of myself. It was as if he had taught me to love myself a little more.
Keiran is a character I'd like to meet, study and understand.
Romie, the dreamer who inspires us to dream and to pursue our own destinies.
Emory. At first I liked her... But over time I came to see her jealousy of her best friend as oppressive and unjustified, because in my opinion she's as talented as anyone else. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see that she's beginning to realise this.
I immediately fell in love with the story, the world and the characters. I'm at a loss for words to express how much this story was love at first sight... Thank you, Pascale, for this story that swept me off my feet.
