This book was
gripping from start to finish, I did take a major break in the middle of
reading this due to work commitments but I found it had such a lasting
impression that it was easy to pick straight back up. It is essentially a story
about a young girl who realises she holds the power of the Oracle and her
journey of freedom.
The main character
is Clio, she is the youngest sister in a family of women, her sisters before
her were tested by their mother to see if they had the gift however following a
very difficult situation were killed leaving Clio the last one remaining with
this gift that has been forced onto her. In learning more about her gift Clio
realises there are numerous horrendous acts being indicted upon other teenage
girls. She feels the need to do something about this and in her attempts meets
a boy, this is her love interest. I found this character to be very easy to
read about and full of surprises, I found myself being dragged into the story
by the characters emotions and how she reacts in difficult situations.
The secondary
character which I felt most noteworthy is Riece, he is the love interest of
main character Clio, he is also a massive influence in her life since he is the
first person she really meets once she's come into her new power. There are
other secondary characters but I feel that Riece is the most noteworthy because
he helps Clio grow as a character throughout the book.
The pacing was
great as there seemed to be an endless stream of disasters in Clio's life
before they realised the overall cause of all the problems. I thought it was a
very well paced book that I hope gets turned into a series because I would love
to read more about this character.
The storyline was
original and thrilling to read, I found it to be a very good and exciting read
which had me hooked from the first page.
4 stars and I hope
there is going to be more books in this series.
