The Hybrid Chronicles

review 1: I have loved each book in the Hybrid Chronicles series, and Echoes of Us was no different from its predecessors. The premise of this series is so captivating, and really makes this series stand out in the genre. I fell in love with Zhang's characters, and found myself sad that the series was over.Eva and Addie aren't afraid of anything---and that made them so easy to admire. I love their determination and their ability to effect change in the world around them. They were inspiring characters to read about.I did have a couple of complaints about Echoes of Us. There were a lot of captures and escapes in this book. Just one too many for my tastes. And, the conflict resolution was rushed, in my opinion. I wanted more "after" to the happily ever after.Overall, I really ... moredid love this series, and would definitely recommend it. Kat Zhang is an author to watch---I love her writing and I'm looking forward to her next release!
review 2: Ever since I learned that Kat Zhang began the Hybrid Chronicles in high school, and through NaNoWriMo, I’ve followed the series eagerly. I’ll admit I’ve screeched over finding out I was the first in my county to read Echoes of Us.The first book in the series was magic. Clichés all around, but page-turning magic with gorgeous prose and a relationship between Addie and Eva I never wanted to stop reading. The complexity of two souls in each body is fascinating and fun to observe. The second was disappointing. It was hurried, staccato, all over the place.That was Echoes of Us. It felt rushed, impersonal, distant. The prose was as pretty as ever, and Eva and Addie’s relationship as heart-wrenching as ever, especially their joint pain, and their character development was neat to see (even if it was annoying to be pointed out every five seconds.) It’s just… the magic was gone. It became too typical, the way everything wrapped up with a revolution and a government coup. I wish it had gone down differently. I wish Addie and Eva had made it overseas. I wanted really badly to love the series as a whole, but even with its amazing premise, it ended up lackluster. less
