She appears to be a totally different person… Only at the end does she go back to being the one she was when we first met her.
She doesn’t want to go anywhere or try anything different. One thing that seriously bothered me was how Annabel is a courageous and strong woman at the beginning, but then as soon as she’s safe she starts acting weak, shy, and isolates herself. I was surprised at one twist in particular, but don’t worry, I won’t spoil it for you! The cover of her book is worth mentioning: it is aesthetically beautiful, with a quote explaining the story, it is poignant, and it shows a special something that belongs only to Annabel… Could you find it? Last but not least, there are many twists and turns worth your time. There is also her biography at the beginning of the book to explain why sometimes sentences can sound weird or unidiomatic – a wise decision, if you ask me. The author makes use of good vocabulary, considering English is her third language. The book is filled with action and romance – despite the latter not being of much interest to me, I must admit it was interesting and well-woven. The way she switches point of views is also to be noted as it does not leave a sour feeling of confusion but keeps you reading. The author uses a good and poignant imagery and has a knack for describing locations. I must admit I simply loved how what’s inside one’s heart is shown by their appearance. The first thing I’ve noticed is how imaginative her idea is! On one side, there are the Anlights, a good people with wings, and on the other, Varkins, a very bad people with enhanced strength. Will Annabel find romance? Or will another war break her down? Among her new friends she meets many who help her adjust to their happier life. Her escape succeeds, and she joins her own kind at the other end of the planet.
She discovers a secret held by their leader, and decides to help her own kind by escaping–even if it means a final death, preferable to the life she has endured. Annabel, endures a year of such cruelty, kept alive only by way of syringes which, while healing, cause a greater agony. Captured and held as slaves, they are treated cruelly for entertainment. The two species separate, but in the removal, some of the best are left behind among the worst.
I have chosen to review Black Wings by Iryna K.
