I received this book for an honest review and it wasn’t the best or the worst book I’ve ever read it just wasn’t very memorable. I love to go back and reread some of my favorite scenes from some of my favorite books and this is one that I wouldn’t go back and read. It was a short read I finished it in one day but if it had been any longer I most likely would have stopped reading because it started out super slow and it was only near the end that any big type of action happened. I just expected from the summary for it to be a crazy ride the entire time and from just a few moments here and there it wasn’t until the last few chapters that anything happened. When I pick up a book I want to be dragged into their world and not surface until the story finally ends. With this book I didn’t feel any emotions nothing deep sucked me in. Also the book ended on a cliffhanger so you don’t even know what happens unless you read the other installments.
Strange powers seem to occur in two teenagers who are very impulsive in their actions. It turns into a lot more than just powers; there is a much bigger part at hand.
I thought the book started off a little slow, and at some parts childish, and confusing.
Once this book hit about chapter four I then grew more interested in the book although I couldn't get a good read on what exactly the main character looked like. I found it hard to become a big part of the book because of the lack of description. The book lacked body until closer to the end.
I did think that the book was unpredictable, however it lacked in action for a book with such a story attached. I felt like more could have been added to really get a hold on the story. The end is what kept me interested in what the next book might bring, so despite the three star rating I would still like to give the second book a try.
This is YA fiction and I'm retired, but I'm still going to follow the series. I liked the characters and loved the conception of their flying powers - it fit a lifelong fantasy of my own. The storyline kept my interest well enough to read more. Possibly because the author is Dutch - i.e. impeccably educated - the English usage and spelling were flawless, unlike what I see constantly from American writers. His work is a pleasure to read.
This one was hard to get into but had some interesting points throughout. Usually if i am unsure out a book, I won't review as I feel that if i can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. This book has a lot of detail and the storyline is interesting. I think, for me, the concept of being a vessel and all of a sudden finding out made it a bit harder to take. It did make for an interesting story though
Very nice! This is a good short story about a young man, Thymen, and a young women named Karen. They are very nice and likable characters and a little like Romeo and Juliet. The story is well written and has a unique plot. I enjoyed it and recommend it for all ages.
