I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

Wings by Aprilynne Pike

Synopsis:
Laurel was mesmerized, staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautiful—too beautiful for words.


Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked almost like wings.


In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.


My Review:
Good story! The cover art is what initially had drawn me to the book but then I started reading and it just confirmed that sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. It was a light yet sensitive and engaging and I loved picking up the book and instantly feeling like I was a part of the story. Pike did a wonderful job with the pacing and creating mystery about the farie world. I like Laurel and Tamani’s character but with David it felt a little off. I wanted to like him a lot more but he never really got upset and he felt so flat next to Tamani who seemed so much more charismatic. It would have made the love triangle more interesting if David and Tamani were vastly different characters. But overall and fun read and I looked forward to the next book.
