A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
Synopsis: "Kell is one of the last Antari, a rare magician who can travel between parallel worlds: hopping from Grey London — dirty, boring, lacking magic, and ruled by mad King George — to Red London — where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire — to White London — ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne, where people fight to control magic, and the magic fights back — and back, but never Black London, because traveling to Black London is forbidden and no one speaks of it now.
Officially, Kell is the personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell smuggles for those willing to pay for even a glimpse of a world they’ll never see, and it is this dangerous hobby that sets him up for accidental treason. Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs afoul of Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She robs him, saves him from a dangerous enemy, then forces him to take her with him for her proper adventure. But perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save both his London and the others, Kell and Lila will first need to stay alive — a feat trickier than they hoped." Review: The creativity of this book is absolutely infinite. Victoria Schwab has literally left my brain turning and speechless. There has rarely been a book where I have been completely enthralled and didn't have any romance (in fact it's already pretty rare to just find any young adult book without romance). The only romance is my love of this book. Everything was so vibrant and detailed and I can't stop thinking about it. Initially I just saw tons of pictures of this on bookstagram and then, without even reading the synopsis I went on to get this book from the library and I couldn't be happier because this book really lived up to its hype. Let's start with Kell. Kell is such a perfectly described person (or Antari) but I really felt like I knew him while at the same time he was able to keep this mysterious presence throughout the story. From the smallest gold button to his magical blood and his darkened eye everything about Kell was known and unknown and truly a character I really enjoyed unfolding by reading more.He seems cold yet ready to help everyone, especially his beloved brother/prince, Rhy. Then there's Lila. When Lila was first introduced I honestly had no idea what to do with her and how she would be relevant, it turns out she was VERY important. I loved how Lila was portrayed. She reminded me a lot of Elizabeth Bennet (sorry reading Pride and Prejudice for school right now) in that she knew what she wanted and did anything she could to achieve it... hmm now that I think about it she could pretty much be like all the other incredible strong female leads in recent ya novels!.However Lila is different in her own quirky way. PLOT TWISTS WERE PRESENT. To be fair.. I really couldn't predict almost any of the novel due to it being so different from what I usually read, but STILL some of these plot twists were CRAAAYZY. (but amazing!!!) At some points I literally just gasped out loud... However I also found that I had a TON of questions throughout the book, but I guess the answer for all could just be magic... ADSOM honestly was not what I expected but still such an incredible novel. I loved being able to see this whole different place form in front of me. I feel like this book really taught me or at least pushed me to be more adventurous and love harder. However this book is not really over! Yep that's right now I'm headed off to go and read A Gathering of Shadows to catch up more on Kell and Lila and just maybe learn some more of the Londons and some life lessons mixed in! I would really recommend this book to and fantasy/ adventure lovers out there, but I think this book is really great for anyone so go and check it out! Cover: ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ (UM FREAKIN GORGEOUS) Favorite Quote: " 'Some people steal to stay alive, and some steal to feel alive. Simple as that.' 'And which are you?' asked Kell. 'I steal for freedom,' " - pg 266 (not really a quote but I LOVED THIS LANGUAGE) " 'As Athera. To grow. As Pyrata. To burn. As Illumae. To light. As Travars. To Travel. As Orense. To open. As Anasae. To dispel. As Hasari. To heal.' " - pg 257

Siren's Fury by Mary WeberStorm Siren by Mary Weber
Synopsis: " 'I raise my chin as the buyers stare. Yes. Look. You don’t want me. Because, eventually, accidentally, I will destroy you.'
In a world at war, a slave girl’s lethal curse could become one kingdom’s weapon of salvation. If the curse—and the girl—can be controlled. As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, seventeen-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male and always killed at birth — meaning, she shouldn’t even exist. Standing on the auction block beneath smoke-drenched mountains, Nym faces her fifteenth sell. But when her hood is removed and her storm-summoning killing curse revealed, Nym is snatched up by a court advisor and given a choice: be trained as the weapon Faelen needs to win the war, or be killed. Choosing the former, Nym is unleashed into a world of politics, bizarre parties, and rumors of an evil more sinister than she’s being prepared to fight . . . not to mention the handsome trainer whose dark secrets lie behind a mysterious ability to calm every lightning strike she summons. But what if she doesn’t want to be the weapon they’ve all been waiting for? Set in a beautifully eclectic world of suspicion, super abilities, and monsters, Storm Siren is a story of power. And whoever controls that power will win. " Review: Isn't that synopsis so hooking?! I decided to pick this up by chance at the library because the cover looked familiar and I am so grateful I did because this was one heck of a good fantasy book. The books starts off with an immediate hook ("Fourteen circles for fourteen owners.") How could anyone stop reading after that line?! This book was written very well and everything showed up very clearly in my brain. Both the characters and landscape were detailed and breathtaking the more I turned the pages the larger their world unfolded in front of me. Nym, the main character, has such an intense system of emotions and a long unfortunate history. However though she believes herself to be hated I found her very easy to like. She had a kicked puppy vibe to her and that made me more and more curious and when the explosion came of who she was I liked her even more. A strong and powerful women is always a good thing to see in a book, but Nym had weaknesses too and that made her seem more realistic. Oh the romance. Plenty here. At the first glance I swore she would fall head over heels for Colin and in the next pages Eogan shows up. Although the buildup for their romance was slow I could almost feel like they fell in love at first sight. However their love was also rushed and shushed and meant to be kept a secret while most people could probably tell by just glancing at them. The entire plot was amazing. I loved how each character really came into play and everything just kept me turning the pages. I could not stop. Don't get me wrong I LOVE this book but this ending WOW. Cliffie is all I'm going to say and those of you who HATE cliffies should know that you needn't worry! The second book is already out and ready for you to get whereas the clueless me did not now and I finally got the second book from the library a week or two later. Fantasy lovers this book is for you so go and read it! Cover: ★★★☆☆ (probably the only thing that kept me away from this book longer) Favorite Quote: "Was I born to destroy life, or to defend Faelen?" " 'Maybe the ones who've struggled with true evil are the ones meant to make the biggest difference against it, you know?' " Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Synopsis:" This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more--Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes." Review: This is one of my most interesting reads (for lack of a better word). I was surprised at pretty much at EVERY turn including when I opened up the book and found out the kind of format this book was written in (It's written almost like people would text one another but always with paragraphs here and there). I would have been over my head with this kind of format just one or two years ago and although I still loved this very much and made this read very memorable, I also found myself easily get distracted or finding that it was incredibly easy to stop wherever and whenever I wanted. With that being my only complaint, we can now get to the good parts. Oh Kady... Oh Ezra such a typical science fiction romance but still SO MUCH MORE. Kady being the mastermind and Ezra the pure love and recklessness they somehow fit perfectly and their dire situation just pronounced their love even more. Watching them fall in love was really weird though in the sense that they weren't even aboard the same ship, but it's science fiction so who can really know? *shrugs* Although I never doubted their relationship, I doubted my predictions of the plot the ENTIRE way through this book.... The plots twists in this book honestly really deserve a round of applause because not only was I so invested in the fast pacing plot but then the plot twists just kept pushing more and more into the story. However the creepiness factor of Aidan actually did slow me down in reading speed because Aidan just gave me the chills and so did all the death and gore. However Aidan had this incredibly mind opening role and Aidan just really brought this book together. This is a book that everyone should read or at least pick up once and try because there's just SO much to it and I can easily see how much work is put it to it. LIKE THE SPECIAL PAGES AND I have never been so proud to find that on the bottom of page 190 Marie Lu is there!! AHHHHH COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN but then there's also all these amazing artwork and the way the words and the art fit together is just an absolutely amazing experience for anyone. Then there's last 10-20 so page .... what can I even say. It was SO WELL PLANNED I don't even know how Amie and Jay did it because that was amazing and completely set me up to go out and get Gemini even though it hasn't even been published yet. To be honest it was what I was hoping for but NEVER something I could see coming. IF SOMEONE SAW THIS COMING YOU ARE LYING .... I loved it SO MUCH THOUGH I CAN'T COMPUTE STOP STARING AT ME, DON'T LOOK AT ME. DON'T LOOK (aha jk I'm not sick,dying, or crazy don't worry) Cover: ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ (UM DOES ANYONE NOT LIKE THIS COVER..) Favorite Quote: “I should have told you I loved you every day. I should have given you the stars.” "'In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.' -Orwell"
Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
Synopsis: "A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again. So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own." Review: Snow like Ashes was one of those books that you've seen other people read, so you just go ahead and pick up, but I could not be ANY happier that I did. This book's plot and characters and structure were just FANTABULOUS. I was able to see hints of a love triangle early on in the book and at that point I was pretty disappointed because I thought I could already see everything that was going to happen.... I was very wrong. Yes the love triangle was slightly portrayed throughout the book BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE. Of course it was a bit doubtful seeing how easily Meira could go ahead and do what she did, but at the same time I loved seeing how this book really portrayed women as strong leaders and how they could stand up for what they believed in. Let's first talk about the plot... twists because I did NOT see a whole lot of stuff coming. Sometimes I literally just stopped reading for a while to take things in before I could continue. However because they are plot twists I'll leave them for the spoilers section so if you haven't read this book yet you can still enjoy it! Snow Like Ashes truly brought me into their world and even more so with the map provided. It was beautifully written and my imagination couldn't stop whirring while reading this book. You do not even understand how much I wish there will be a movie. Anyways, I honestly think that this book is great for anyone that loves action, women being strong, and some romance all mixed into one big beautiful book. I literally went through every single emotion possible when reading this book and I loved that. Now for the romance part of this book, comment below if you would go with Mather orTheron. Honestly I would go with Mather but I don't know, Meira went through so much it was rather blurry and quite honestly I don't even know how she had time to have crushes when she was facing her death and seeing things and I won't say anymore because SPOILERS ARE BELOW and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone.
Spoilers: OMG WHEN I FOUND OUT WHO MEIRA REALLY WAS I WAS SO SURPRISED... I don't even know how I didn't question that Mather wasn't the real heir. Then when she started to show signs of magic and also joining her winterian people UGH It was so magical and sad. The betrayal of Spring was slightly hinted but then the betrayal of Agra came in and everything was like WOAH didn't see that coming. Then the extremely sappy crying moment when Sir died (I was honestly about to cry at this point) but OK I sort of guessed/hope that Sir didn't die, but STILL I was so happy he was back! By far the most beautiful part of the story was getting to see that everyone could return to Winter!
Overall, Snow Like Ashes was an AMAZING book and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!
Cover: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) I was confused when I saw it but after reading this book it make a lot more sense Favorite Quote: "Someday we will be more than words in the dark." "Even the strongest blizzard starts with a single snowflake." Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg
Summary:
"The sequel to the number-one bestseller Girl Online. Penny joins her rock-star boyfriend, Noah, on his European music tour. Penny's bags are packed. When Noah invites Penny on his European music tour, she can't wait to spend time with her rock-god-tastic boyfriend. But, between Noah's jam-packed schedule, less-than-welcoming bandmates and threatening messages from jealous fans, Penny wonders whether she's really cut out for life on tour. She can't help but miss her family, her best friend Elliot . . . and her blog, Girl Online. Can Penny learn to balance life and love on the road, or will she lose everything in pursuit of the perfect summer?" Review: ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING!!!! (If you haven't read the first book, Girl Online go do that first!) Zoe Sugg has yet again written another AMAZING read. I know I can be a bit biased when it comes to anything Zoella.... because it's Zoella, but I swear this was an AMAZING book. Besides the extraordinary fact that I got A SIGNED COPY (I KNOW!! I freaked out in the middle of Barnes and Nobles and I was SUPER tempted to get all of the signed copies) but the continuation of Penny's life really got interesting. Of course the Title, Girl Online On Tour, gave away a bit of what was to happen but to actually see everything unfold the way it did was amazing. However, before I get to the plot, I really have to give credits to Zoe for being able to show the effects of anxiety the way she did and also give a glimpse of what she probably has to face everyday. Of course Penny's extravagant life is not something most people get to have an experience of, but somehow this book still really connects with everyday life as well. I love that it's written in first person because it really helps you feel like you are actually in Penny's position, and it also allows the reader to really connect with Penny more. Not only that but any blogger that read the Girl Online series can connect with her even more. I especially envy Penny's group of blog readers because I really hope I can get to meet as many people as she does and I love that she is able to connect with so many people just through words. Penny's world is one with so many twists and turns from lost cell phones to a crazy love life. Throughout the book my perspectives changed of Leah, Noah, and Blake the most. Let me start with Leah. I honestly thought she was going to follow her portrayal of being a rich and snobby person, but I was SO WRONG. She actually reminded me of a friend I have from Dubai. Although they are both rich, they are incredibly kind. These kind of people really touch my heart the most because I know they could easily brag about their money, but instead they just show kindness. It is truly amazing. Then there's Noah. I honestly LOVED Noah after the first book, but this book changed my thoughts about him. Obviously, people make mistakes but seeing Noah and Penny grow apart literally made me cry. It seemed like a perfect ending after the first book the hardships were pretty unexpected for me. I was just incredibly thankful for the way he sort of redeemed himself by the end of the story, because #Poah #Nenny?? LOL I don't know but I really just wanted that happy ending for them and Zoe definitely delivered that. Includes: Love, internet, boy band(sorta), happiness, and some tears Cover: 5/5 ( I love how it goes the with first book! and THAT ROSE GOLD!!!) Rating: 5/5 Favorite Quote: "
Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales
Summary: "Recklessly loyal. That’s how seventeen-year-old Arden Huntley has always thought of herself. Caring for her loved ones is what gives Arden purpose in her life and makes her feel like she matters. But lately she’s grown resentful of everyone—including her needy best friend and her absent mom—taking her loyalty for granted. Then Arden stumbles upon a website called Tonight the Streets Are Ours, the musings of a young New York City writer named Peter, who gives voice to feelings that Arden has never known how to express. He seems to get her in a way that no one else does, and he hasn’t even met her. Until Arden sets out on a road trip to find him. During one crazy night out in New York City filled with parties, dancing, and music—the type of night when anything can happen, and nearly everything does—Arden discovers that Peter isn’t exactly who she thought he was. And maybe she isn’t exactly who she thought she was, either."
Review: Tonight the Streets Are Ours' summary really reeled me in and so when I received the book I was SUPER excited to read it. It was definitely a book that didn't disappoint because everything about it was just.... great! The best thing about this book is that I feel like every single person can in some way relate to Arden because we all feel that way about someone... like you are the one that's constantly giving but almost never receiving, maybe not as much as Arden but possibly a couple experiences in life. Then there's Lindsey and Peter, both adding so much more to the story. Although Lindsey isn't the main character she also changes a lot throughout the story. Whereas Arden learns to treat herself, Lindsey learns to appreciate Arden more. Then there's Peter. In order to not give anything away I'll just start with what I first thought of him. I honestly saw Peter as a super cool, nice guy that would fit well with Arden. *scroll down for spoilers* This Book Contains: love, heartbreak, truth, friendship, life Cover: 100000000000/ 10 (I'm going to be honest and say that 50% of the reason I got this book, was for it's cover.....) Rating: 5/5 Favorite Quote: "I used to think that loving somebody meant sacrificing anything for them. I thought it meant writing a blank check. I thought it meant that you would die without each other. But it turns out that Peter was right about that, too: death and a broken heart are not the same. These days I think that love is not so dramatic as all that. Maybe loving somebody means simply they bring out the best in you, and you bring out the best in them-so that together, you are always the best possible versions of yourselves."
Opinion Spoilers: I didn't like Peter AT ALL after Arden truly met him. Though I did like Bianca a lot more! Peter's version of reality on his blog was so opinionated and biased that I almost couldn't believe the truth. Although I really liked this book the ending didn't leave me the kind of satisfaction I was looking for, but maybe because it was more realistic than I thought. Overall, this was a GREAT read and the amazing plot definitely had me hooked throughout the story.
Everything Everything by Nicole Yoon
Summary: My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.
Review: Within the first 10 to 20 pages or so I was in love with book. Maddy is such an interesting character and Olly fits with her perfectly. When I first read about Maddy's situation I honestly thought "woah that sounds so relaxing! just getting to read books all day" but I did think more about after and saw her case of complete boredom and lack of human interaction. It was pretty depressing. Then Olly came into her light and everything really started to change. This had to be my favorite part of the whole part (Olly and Maddy's texts to one another). The plot of Everything Everything was incredibly well planned and although I actually somehow guessed the ending (it was just one of those thought where you are like what if?! .... nah it couldn't be).I still cried on the ending anyways. I felt sucked into Maddy's world whenever I opened the book. Not only was the story amazing, but the extra details Nicole Yoon added to make this book really pop was incredible. The multiple text pages and the inserted art all helped really enhance the story.*scroll down for spoilers* Read if you like books with: plot twists, love, fighting sickness, everything(see what I did there) Cover: 100/10 (seriously one of the prettiest books I have ever seen!) Rating: 5/5 Favorite Quote: "The greatest risk in not taking one. " (on the cover still counts though right?)
Opinion Spoilers: That blackout page actually really freaked me out. Now as an extra warning if you have NOT yet read this book SERIOUSLY DON'T read this spoiler because this book is so worth reading!! Anyways I can NOT believe the ending at all and I have to say that by the time I believed in what was happening I was in tears and fuming at Maddy's mother. Maddy didn't deserved to be trapped like that and she could have lived such a normal life without her mother's doing. THANK YOU NICOLE YOON FOR THE ENDING THOUGH! If Olly and Maddy never met I honestly would be even angrier at Maddy's mom. Anyways, the way it all tied together was so adorable and at that moment I couldn't feel happier for Maddy.
I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Summary: Jude and Noah are twins, but they aren't similar at all. At the age of 13 Jude and Noah are still pretty close siblings, but as they grow up they fall apart from one another. At the age of 13, Jude and Noah were already had incredibly different personalities and interests. Jude is popular and brave. Meanwhile, due to Noah being gay he tends to try and hide himself and recluses himself to art one of the only places he can find himself not being judged by who he loves. They begin to fall apart when their mother, who has never chosen a favored child, chooses Noah. At this point, although Jude has always been her father's favorite, she feels jealous. Then she does something that impacts Noah's life. Jude and Noah's parents agree to send them to an art school the next year and although Jude isn't very excited Noah cannot wait to go. Until Jude becomes jealous and ... *scroll down for spoilers*
Opinion: I loved this book SO MUCH. It may be the fact that I'm a twin myself so I feel a bit closer to this story? ANYWAYS Jude and Noah are pretty representative of my twin sister and I. Although we're identical we're pretty different. I really enjoyed this book not only because of Jude and Noah, but also because the plot is so amazing. In the beginning I have say I may have favored whoever was speaking, but slowly I could see parts of myself in both Noah and Jude so I really liked that. Being able to see both Jude and Noah's perspectives. My absolute FAVORITE part of the whole book is how Jude and Noah used to "split up the world. " It just really reminds me of things I would do and things little kids talk about when you're really young. It was just really touching to see Jude and Noah bond even after they've had their differences. *scroll down for spoilers* Read if You Like: twins, plot twists, sibling relationships, love, family, life Cover: 4/5 (cute I love the colors!) Rating: 5/5 Favorite Quote: "I gave up practically the whole world for you,” I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. “The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.”
Summary Spoilers: ... and doesn't turn in Noah's application. However later a tragedy happens. Their mother passes away, but before that Noah saw something he wasn't supposed to and didn't tell Jude. On the day their mother passed away, Noah saw his mother cheating on his father with another man and kept it from his family. Noah is also been able to reunite with his childhood love. After a long adventure, Jude admits to her secret and Noah tells her as well and they find out that Jude's art teacher is actually the man their mother was cheating on. However, everyone soons finds peace with one another now that all these secrets are told.
Opinion Spoilers: I was pretty pissed at their mother. I also couldn't believe such a nice man , Guillermo (the artist and man the mother was cheating with ) could try to take away the mother of Noah and Jude. I was, however, pretty relieved when they were finally able to all finally tell their secrets. I was also super happy for Noah at the end, because for a while it seemed like he wouldn't give in to what he knew he was, but he realized he is who he is and I was so happy/proud for/of him?? Overall I was just really happy with the ending and how it all tied together.
A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray
Summary: Meg has grown up in a world of her own. A world where her parents let her pursue her passion and a world where she has always been able to see the brilliance of her parent's work. She has gotten close to Theo and Paul, but everything changes when her parent's invention, the Firebird, is stolen Meg's father is killed and Paul uses the Firebird to jump into a different dimension. Theo and Meg automatically believe Paul was the one who killed Meg's father and in order to get revenge they follow Paul to whatever dimension he jumped into. In this dimension, the technology is extremely advanced and Meg has lost her whole family and lives with her aunt instead. Luckily Theo is close by and they meet up and go find Paul. *scroll down for spoilers*
Opinion: At first I have to admit I was a bit confused as to what was going on, but after a couple pages in I was hooked. This was one heck of a story and my family can confirm how much I was talking about this and especially how much I wanted to pre-order the next book! I love EVERY SINGLE PART of this book, and it is definitely one of my favorite books now. The whole idea of this story really captivated me. From the dimension traveling to the plotline. However I have to admit my favorite part would be Meg seeing herself in different dimensions because the variety can't help but make you imagine what you might be like if there are different dimensions. In one world you could be an astronaut and another a surfer, the possibilities are endless and that amazes me. Now, let's talk about the absolutely amazing characters and plot. It's probably obvious my favorite characters are Meg and Paul, but honestly I have to say that through reading this I really like her parents?! Does that seem weird... It's just because of how brilliant, creative, and brave they are. I think that the characteristics her parents have are traits many people wish for. OK NOW THE PLOT <3 I LOVE IT. Although ALL of the plot line was absolutely amazing, my favorite had to be the plot twists I had NO IDEA were coming. They only made me even more entranced with the story and I know I won't forget what happened in this book! *scroll down for spoilers* Read if You like: sci-fi, love, dimension travel, adventure, plot twists, a great book Cover: 5/5 (This cover is INCREDIBLY beautiful can I give it a 6?) Rating: 5/5 Favorite Quote: "I would love you in any shape, in any world, with any past. Never doubt that."
Summary Spoilers: Meg quickly finds out Paul was not behind her father's death, but Theo doesn't believe her. Paul leaves this dimension and soon Theo and Meg follow. In this dimension Meg is a Russian princess. However the society is not as advanced and so Theo can't get to Meg is this dimension, not to mention Meg's broken Firebird. Meg ends up spending a lot of time as a princess and with the Paul in this dimension. However, Meg really is spending time with the Paul in THIS dimension because Paul got his Firebird taken away. While Meg tries to get her Firebird fixed Meg bonds with Paul and forms a secret relationship with him. However events happen including a battle and Paul dies and Meg has to jump into the next dimension. Her Paul made it to the next dimension, but here Meg soon finds out that the REAL traitor is Theo and that her father IS STILL ALIVE. With the help of Paul she is able to bring back her father and everything is great and everyone is happy.
Opinion Spoilers:I WAS SO MAD AT OTHER DIMENSION THEO. To be honest... I was sort of rooting for Theo in the beginning, but all that happened and even though the REAL Theo was innocent I feel like he still has a part of the traitor in him. These plot twists were absolutely amazing though and I can't stop telling people I know about this book. I just love it SO MUCH.I also know that I REALLY WANT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK. *clicks pre-order* (EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK THOUGH)
