My Review:
As usual, Kinrade’s story is very well written. Her storytelling and narrative draw you in while keeping you abreast of the dividing and intertwining storylines. You get the feeling of suspense and need for action without any of the gore that tends to accompany it. Kinrade manages to keep this very fast paced and nerve racking novel upbeat throughout.
You get a true sense of the main characters in this novel through the chapters written from their perspectives. Each is written in a different style with completely different vocabulary. It meshes perfectly with each of their personalities. I love how you get to know Lucy so much better in this instalment. She has been one of my favourite characters throughout, but she really comes into her own in this story. My only issue with any of the characters in this novel is that suddenly part way through the book everyone magically goes from being a teen to being an adult. It’s a smooth transition and you barely notice it at the time but looking back you can see it clearly.
As a whole, this novel was a good wrap up to the series. Everyone has something or someone to lean on. They also have some form of a plan for the rest of their lives. That said, Kinrade also doesn’t fall into the trap of jumping 10 years into the future and giving everyone a happily ever after. They are still themselves, but we have a sense of completion for this part of their story.

Great review Jonel
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the series yet but these books sound great. A little scary using kids with powers as spies, but super smart idea. I am absolutely going to have to read them.
ReplyDeleteAs for a para-power of my own, I always thought telekinesis would be sort of nice. Not that I'm that lazy, just being able to control a few things would help the multi-tasker in me :)
This is a great concept. I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to para-power, my first thought was the ability to read minds, but then I realized I might not want to know what others think of me. So maybe what I'd prefer is an infinite supply of luck. Going through life with good things just happening to you sounds pretty sweet to me.
Thanks so much for this awesome review. I'm so glad you loved the book! Forbidden Life was my favorite in the series. ;)
