Demigods Academy: Year One by Elisa S. Amore, Kiera Legend
5.0
This was such a good book! I look forward to books two and three.
The pacing and plot were excellent. In terms of being an academy book specifically, I really appreciated that it kept classes and learning the whole way through, as many drop them in favor of romance or mystery. This managed to incorporate romance and a bit of mystery well, along with a good group of characters. I look forward to seeing all of them become more fleshed out as the series goes on. As for the main character, Melany, I loved her! She was smart and strong, without being idiotic. I enjoyed watching her mistakes and triumphs. I also enjoyed her relationship with Lucien. I loved that he wasn't the typical closed off asshole love interest. Nope! He was actually respectful, caring, kind, handsome, and really awesome. I quite like him, and hope he and Melany continue their romance in later books.
Overall, this ended up being better than I expected, and I read it in a day. Melany was an excellent heroine, and the plot provided an interesting academy with cool classes, a bit of intrigue, and some fun romance. I do hope that her friends get a bit more fleshed out as the books go on. I look forward to book 2 after that ending! Awesome book! 5 stars!
