review 1: Dystopia is a type of book that I rarely read but I have begun to read more and more as I discover new authors. Carlyle Labuschagne is a completely new author for me and though I wasn’t instantly interested in reading the book from the blurb, the cover and excerpt drew me in.I read the book in one sitting due to the unusual scenes that kept unfolding. There was a lot of what felt like side stories going on at one time and I kept saying but why did he or she do that.Primary characters….Eva and her BFF Sam, who I really didn’t quite like because of some of her selfishness were in a large part of the book. Later Maya was added and became close to Eva. I really connected with their friendship.Eva has two love interests Enoch and Troy. Enoch just seemed a bit off to me an... mored I wondered why he acted so peculiar at times and then acted like he had a big crush on her in other times. The book does explain this and doesn’t leave you hanging on it. Troy comes across as a bad boy and one you should stay away from. I felt that their instant attraction could have been developed with more depth and a clearer understanding of why he acted as he did would have been more helpful. I did consider that most likely book two will develop Troy’s feelings for Eva and what the two of them were meet to do with the change in events.Secondary characters where well developed and were as interesting as the ones I mentioned above, in fact several could even have their own book. Overall this book was entertaining and I look forward to how Eva and Troy deal with the cliffhanger in the next bookI was gifted an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion via Fire Quill Publishing.To see the full review visit my blog: sportochicksmusings.blogspot.com
review 2: Broken Destiny – a book that is haunting and sad and dives into the life of Ava, a changeling who has been chosen to be a leader for her people. She needs to learn the requirements of witchcraft and understand about the prophecy in order to stand up to the witch doctor. This is to be her destiny - one she doesn't want – a role that she agonizes about continuously. After the destruction of earth, some residents escape to their dying planet called Poseidon through a magic travelling mirror and these people have to fight for their place. So many battles are being fought on every level, and for Ava, many of her battles are in her mind. I like the well-rounded characters and the way this debut author has taken the time to give us a clear picture of them and their role in the story. I also like the action that takes place. It kept me turning the pages…that and the fact that this tale is written in the first person and that tends to draw me in a lot deeper than any other style. I look forward to other work from this very talented writer. less
