Review: Angsty Angels Gone Wild
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 5, 2014
Ethereal is a book that quickly establishes itself with vivid characters, snappy descriptions and pacing that holds the readers attention enough to keep turning pages. The plot's supernatural aspects as well as mundane ones ensnared me so quickly I read half the book within two hours and finished it not long after.Ethereal has an irreverent tone in both narration and dialogue that is entertaining to read while reaffirming Skyla's general disposition. The tragedy and upheaval ingrained in her back story has left her surly, defiant and sarcastic in ways of coping with her unhappiness. Skyla didn't strike me as an atypical teen in that respect and shared her frustration towards various situations that arose throughout the book.The supernatural premise that will fuel the series is introduced enough to make readers aware of what they can expect while leaving mysteries to be explored later on. There's genuine appeal and novelty to the mythos that finds ways to distinguish itself from other series in a similar vein. Already I'm fascinated to see where the story is leading and what will come of the characters in it.
