Makkelijk te lezen, maar ik mis de opbouw. Die miste ik ook in Wings. Het verhaal is leuk, maar er worden veel dingen weggelaten die ik veel liever zou willen weten. Het boek is oké en ik zal ook Illusions lezen, maar ik raad hem niet iedereen aan. Ik raad hem aan aan mensen die het niet boeit of het verhaal klopt, of de opbouw waardeloos is en die wel houden van een makkelijk te lezen boek. Overigens, de Nederlandse vertaling suckt, wij Nederlanders kennen het woord dubble date ook wel en dat hoef je echt niet te vertalen met dubbel afspraakje *knalt met hoofd tegen de muur*

I'm back!
I tried explaining this story to mind friends, and they couldn't get it (who the hell does anyway)
its too overated for me, given that the story had potential, but nah, again to talented enough to create you're own realm and this just didn't work!
(skip it)
again, it's just my opinion, read it if you want.

I absolutely loved this book. I thought is was better than the first. I am definately routing for Tamina . This book was really realistic besides all the fairy stuff.
The trials Laurel is going through are very realistic. I love how David is the perfect boyfriend. He is everything Laurel could really ask for in a boyfriend. He is sweet and understanding and really tries to be her support.
Yet Tam is equally as attractice and nice but he has an edge and a riskiness that Laurel is drawn too. I feel so bad for Tam, especially since he has declared his feelings and Laurel is the only one that can do anything because of their (caste system). I want Laurel to choose Tam; of course he is the riskier choice, but it's for that reason. I think in real life I wouldn't be courageous enough to choose Tam because it isn't the safest course. So I guess I want to live vicariously through Laurel.
I loved how Aprilynne stylle of writing gets right to the poiny. As soon as the book started, Laurel was on her way to Avalon.I really was unable to put the book down. The ending was something else. I cant wait to read illusions, and I see why everyone else is so excited. Aprilynne Pike is an amazing writer.
