I'm so happy to be part of the Evanescent tour! As you may or may not know, I am the organizer of Sara's street team, the Fantasy Fanatics! Today, I present to you, my review of the book as well as an excerpt from the book (which I read in an evening btw). After the review, you will find an excerpt from the novel as well as an awesome giveaway!
So, I might have read the entire book while waiting to get into a restaurant for my dad's birthday. Yes, the wait was two hours, but STILL! This book was SO good! I started reading it, finished it at the dinner table, and was done before our food arrived. The characters drew me in, and while I want a tad more detail, otherwise, the book couldn't have been more perfect!
While the book was told from many points of view, the main character was Sarenah. Sarenah knew from page one that she wasn't human, heck, she'd been an angel, and a special one at that, for a few thousand years! That's right, Sarenah's an angel, and a kick-butt one at that! She's always done what she's told, but after the events at the beginning of the story, she starts to step out of the carefully lined box that she's lived in all her life. Sarenah was definitely a fun main character, and even though she had years of being supernatural under her belt, it still felt as if she was discovering herself.
The plot of this book was FAST! Something new was always happening, and I couldn't stop turning pages. The backstory of the characters was really interesting, and I honestly did not see it coming. The writing was superb! I loved being immersed in this story and can't wait for the next book. The surprises kept coming and coming, and by the end, my jaw was nearly on the floor in shock. Plus, the male protagonist Draco? Complete and utter swoon! Definitely check out this book, it is worth the read! I can't not give this book five stars!
