Review: Review for Tethered Twins
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 11, 2013
Tethered Twins was an action-packed, dystopian society book--first book of a trilogy. The beginning of the book started off intense with the murder of Emmie's brother and continued to take twists and turns throughout the novel. The reader must try to figure out what exactly is going on and who are really the good guys that Emmie should trust. [I'll try to keep this all spoiler-free]Characters: The book used first and third person. Emmie was the main character (written as first person) in the book. She lived a hard life especially after she survived when her brother died, denoting something special about her. Banding together with support of her childhood friends, Emmie went on an adventure to discover why her brother was killed and what made her so special that she didn't die when he did. Secrets were afoot even with her best friend, Grace. Control and power were a focal point for a lot of the characters.Plot: This was a fast-paced novel taken place in the near future England. The world was completely changed after the 21 day siege, and this left implications for the characters in Tethered Twins. The plot provided an intriguing storyline that kept me interested throughout the book. I finished it with two days. The story will leave the reader wanting to know what will happen, especially with the twists at the end.Overall, I enjoyed this book and would like to read what happens in the upcoming trilogy. There were some questions left unanswered/new questions formed by the end of the book. If you like action dystopian books, you should like this one.
