Review: Not my favorite Rachel book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 26, 2013
I'll start by saying I enjoyed the premise of the book, and even the story itself. However, I spent a large portion of this book wondering what was going on. There are parts where it's most definitely confusing, especially when it refers to events that happened previous to the book's beginning. I actually wondered a couple times if I somehow bought the second book without first reading the first.I found myself disliking Ivy, especially her "but everyone adores me" attitude. I almost expected her to find it refreshing when someone wasn't immediately intrigued by her, instead she just kind of whined about it. She grew on me as I continued reading though. I liked her personality as she interacted more with her friends from school. As you read though her true personality begins to surface and I'm willing to give her a second chance.I will continue to read this series because I like the mythology, I like the love story, and I want to see how it all concludes. The negative aspects of this book aren't enough to overshadow the fact that it's just the beginning and I have to know how it ends.Would I read it again? YesWould I recommend to a friend?
