Penelope Fletcher is a writer from the UK and has several book series. Nerveless the grammar or any other mistakes didn’t take away from the story when I was first reading. Review 2: First off let me say that when I first purchased the book it had some mistakes in the grammar and such, but it has since been fixed with an updated version that is much better. On the other hand, people who loved other series like Divergent, Twilight, City of Mortal Bones, etc will find a lot to like here. It feels like it's blended together a few elements from other dystopian YA, and I don't think it conquers new ground. But that part hasn't been explored before this novel ends.It's. Something slightly novel, in a creepy way, was that one leg of the love triangle seems to be a magical bond that cannot be chosen and is foreshadowed to have dire consequences if the two involved separate. The target for this book presumably takes love triangles as a matter of course, but those readers who have read more than a handful of series may be excused for looking for a fresh take. Her life before the book doesn't seem rooted at all - even her friends, Alex and Ro, seem thinly characterized and veer from one perspective to another. Furthermore, there's no reason presented why a lifetime of conditioning and upbringing is discarded, as she deals with demons, fairies, vampires, and the hidden conflicts of the Clerics. Earlier hints that she might be a very capable trainee certainly don't seem to pay off - at least yet - as she gets pulled into many random side plots with little explanation. more nterests, when she starts getting bounced around by every character she meets.
The dystopian backstory comes across throughout the story, but the tone is set early on when she comes across Clerics - the elders in charge of her training - outside of their territory confronting a demon, escalating the atmosphere into very dark territory.But most of that promise is thrown away when she soon thereafter meets the first of her potential love i. This is the sort of classic premise that has launched a thousand YA ships, with good reason being set in a dystopian future helps explain why Rae comes across as a pretty modern teenager, while still allowing for paranormal elements like demons and vampires. Review 1: A YA take on dystopia - this starts off well enough, with first person tense an orphan girl being trained to deal with demonic challenges confronts demons.
