Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

3.0

Passenger tells the story of Etta Spencer, a teenage violin prodigy living in the modern world. One night her world is turned completely upside down when she's pushed through a passage in time and lands on a pirate ship and meets a gorgeous and mysterious pirate named Nicholas. Together they embark on a extraordinary journey to retrieve an object so powerful, it can change history and Etta is the only one who knows just how to find it. I loved the main characters in the book. At the beginning of the novel Etta came off as such a bland and boring character but as the story progresses I quickly saw how wrong I was. I also enjoyed Nicholas's personality and how realistic it was. Being a African American in the 1700s he had to face such awful racism. The interracial relationship these two had was awesome and something that you hardly see in novels so I really enjoyed that aspect itself. The story as a whole however hardly kept my interest and felt flat at times, I was expecting so much from this tale...
