The Cerulean by Amy Ewing

5.0

I LOVED THIS BOOK. Beyond anything else, the writing was some point confusing but it’s not for children. It’s a YA novel! If you don’t generally read those, you will be thrown off. To all the people saying this book is “terrible, Couldn’t even finish it, all about oppression” you all can read your little “LGBTQ book” and leave this out of it. IT IS NOT ABOUT SEXUALITY PREFERENCES! Yes Agnes is attracted to women, Sera comes from an all women planet. It’s about Sera, who grows up on a planet unlike any other, full of ONLY women. It’s a totally different concept of “other worlds”. Sera then had to sacrifice herself by falling onto the planet they are tethered to so her world can be able to travel to a new planet for a better life. This book is about how she survives, gets back to her planet, and the people she meets along the way and how her perspective changes on “humans” and how she sees everything else. I actually loved this book beyond anything else I’ve read, after reading the many comments about how people gave up on this book because sera realized she liked men instead of women, was absolutely disgusting! She never have met a man, or heard anything about them and her perspective changed once she spent time with them and realized they were not as bad as they were made out to be. When you are groomed to knowing only one thing and never having the chance to know anything else or experience anything else, and you get to experience what something else is like, you’re bound to have some change. She was groomed, to only know women and only like them. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT THINGS ONCE YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

Give this book a chance, it is amazingly written, well made out and a great concept. Absolutely 5 stars in my opinion. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
