The Channeler: A Future Forewarned by Jenna Ryan
3.0
Let's start with the good. First, it's a relatively fast read, which I always love getting the chance to enjoy. Also, I think the characters are all incredibly nice and loveable. These characters are people I could see myself getting along with.
I will say though, I had a couple of problems with this book. Mainly, it felt a bit cliché for me. The delivery of some of the lines felt a bit forced and unnatural which added to the feeling of this being a bit cliché and nothing really happens for most of the book. I also feel like the university setting was strange because the university felt like a high school, with designated lunch, assigned seating, and so on. They also went to a sorority house party and everyone got pat-down for drugs and their IDs checked, which felt sort of odd to me and it really took me out of the story.
I also thought the not really calling them angels but implying that they were angels was strange. Especially when choosing names such as Michael and Gabriel which have a lot of biblical significance. It felt like that wasn't explored enough to me.
Overall though, I rated this a 3/5. I think this would be a really fun story but I may have not been the right reader for it.
