I RECEIVED THIS BOOK FROM NETGALLEY FOR REVIEW IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS. I CAN GUARANTEE AND PROMISE YOU THAT THIS HAS NOT IN ANY WAY HAD AN IMPACT ON WHAT I THOUGHT OF THE BOOK AND THAT EVERYTHING STATED IS WHAT I THINK.
Overall Plot:
The book has a very interesting premise and it was something that made me really want to read it. The plot was played out greatly and it totally lived up to what was promised in the books description.
Characters/Development:
I liked being able to see the different types of characters that were presented in the book. For example, there wasn’t just the seekers, there were the Dreads as well. I loved seeing the characters developing and changing as the story went on. It was something that was pleasing to see. We got a lot of backstory for most of the main characters without having it just sprung on us. It was written in a way that could let us know about the characters but over the span of the book and not just in one simple go. I loved the character of Shinobu. He was definitely someone I liked watching develop. The character of John though really irked me. At first I was rooting for John hardcore, I thought he was the greatest. As the story unfolded I was a bit iffy. He seemed controlling and manipulative and I didn’t like that about him. He tried to control Quin a lot and she wasn’t having it.
Layout: The layout of the book was nice. I love the many viewpoints presented in the story and how it originally just started out as John and Quin then Shinobu and then Maud and a couple more people. It was nice seeing how everything panned out in the view of everyone and we got everyone’s thoughts and opinions and it wasn’t just biased and one sided.
Likes: Something I really liked about the book was the differences in the characters. We have Shinobu who was from Hong Kong. Quin’s mother who has red hair. Then we have the Dreads who all look a like but are different from everyone else. I loved the differences between everyone. It was refreshing to have main characters who weren’t just the standard white people, I love books with diversity, especially in the character of Shinobu.
Dislikes:
Two words: Briac Kincaid.
Overall Rating: Overall I would give this book a 4/5 stars. It was action packed and there was also a mix of everything within it. We even have some romance, which, at first I didn’t really like the whole Shinobu liking Quin thing, but as everything panned out I came to like it a lot more than Quin and John. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy and action.
