Fantasy Team Report II
On Kristina Mahr's All That We See or Seem:
This book was phenomenal! Of course it had to be based off an Edgar Allen Poe poem- but still, it is absolutely breathtaking!
First, the characters. Our heroine is not only completely human, but also actually intelligent and considerate. She's very refreshing by not being either stick-it-to-you tough or too-stupid-to-live. And both the boys in her lives are such deep, well-rounded characters themselves between the sweet dream-boy you can't help but root for and the charming noble you know you should run the opposite direction from, but kind of root for anyway.
Then there are the two worlds. One bright and almost ideal- and the other one dark and creepy. And the way our protagonist gets tossed between them is incredible, and any and all confusion Reeve faces is completely understandable, because when one is in one world with one of the boys, one doesn't want to go to the other- until Reeve finds herself there anyway.
The writing itself is rather mesmerizing, just as the secrets behind these worlds and their connection are alluring. I cannot wait to begin the sequel!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, and my opinions are my own.
