Another fae book has yet again captured and entertained me (thanks to my friends, you know who you are). couldn't for the life of me ignore what's been making them, I assume, sleep-deprived to make some eye-catching 'one of the best books!' reviews that were lining out my news feed. Coz of that, of course there had been so much expectation and excitement I held for this book, but a little of a doubt was clinging somewhere, especially when I have the Fever series to compare it with. Admittedly, the first half of the book didn't have so much as 'appeal' as what I had been preparing to be appealed for, because I am a kind of reader that always excites myself, usually from the beginning, out of the book that I've held so much expectation from. Don't get me wrong, I, me, myself, was the problem in that case, not the plot or any elements from the book. The plot was interesting, ever since Chapter 1 but I guess it had something more to do with my ahem, 'dysmen'(you get it girls!) snailing me, or in this case, made me a little spaced out, to whatever stuff, even the most interesting ones like reading this book. So earlier, I rapidly skimmed back to some parts I thought I missed and resumed to a normal pace in the start of the second half. Then dun dun dun! I was loving and enjoying it! So on to what I have to say generally about the book - ShadowReader was one of those books that made me eat my meals so fast, hopeful to get back on the momentum of where I've last bookmarked a page. As always, I was glad to have lived another Fae world, coz I had this knack in me that hungers Fae-related things. Despite the civil war that's becoming a little cliche to my taste for a Fae world to have, I still enjoyed the concepts and ideas of fissures, shadows and how it's read, edarrataes, chaos clusters, gates, and the Realm that have new rings to my ears. (view spoiler)[ Of course, I will never miss mentioning Aren and his sexy determination to get to McKenzie that made me squirm to madness delight even though I felt sad about Kyol, especially when he was willing to free McKenzie. And Kelia. Gosh, it squeezed my heart to lose her and see Naito scream in emotional pain. (hide spoiler)] Oh well. Seems the unfairness of human life didn't escape to Fae's as well. So guys, you won't need any pushing anymore to read this. You know what to do if you really claim yourself a reader.
