review 1: Reading this book, to me, is like watching a really good high school play, in that while it doesn't have the polish of established writers, there is a lot of promise in it, and I can't help but root for its success.First, to get the criticism out of the way, I recommend approaching this book knowing it is probably the author's first book. The place this is most evident is in the pacing. A good rule of thumb is to give what is most important, the most space on the page. Here, Hutchinson often instead feels the need to establish full timelines of who is going to what class and when, instead of just jumping right to the important conversation of the scene. Most cases, it doesn't matter that Cora had English class, lunch, and another couple of classes before meeting up with he... morer friends after school.That said, I found it easy to excuse the need for a good editor, because I am a sucker for new takes on old mythologies, and while the intelligence of these characters is insulted somewhat by how long it takes them to clue in, the angle Hutchinson is building around the myth is intriguing and exciting, and I am eagerly looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
review 2: I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway! (aka First-reads)I Loved it!!! I'm also excited for the sequel!!! Lots of loose ends... making me eager for the next one!!!I actually finished this book in less than 6 hours. It was a very slow night at work... and I was so engrossed with the story, I just couldn't put it down anyway.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was also excited/suprised to find out that my book was signed!!!! So awesome!!! less
