review 1: This is really 4.5 stars, but I rounded up. :)This is definitely a YA read with all the angst and drama attached to it. What is simply great about this, though, is that the author so effectively captured the emotions rioting through the characters. It has a very real feel to it, even though there are aliens jazzing up the drama-works. Basically, these guys are going through alien puberty, trying to manage their developing powers while dealing with raging hormones. Fun stuff. heh hehTold in 3 POVs,which I adored, you get an in-depth view to what is driving the characters. It's funny, because the summary focuses mainly on Samantha, and I would have said that Alexia is the main character in this story. The POVs are from Alexia, Samantha, and Matt. But there are other "cousins... more" in this ensemble cast that simply can't be ignored. I'm almost hoping to see some other POVs in future books, cuz I would most definitely want to get into the heads of some of them.Some of the plot twists were evident, but I don't think red herrings were the author's intent. Some of the characters you really didn't know whether they turn out friend or foe. The author draws mysterious characters with such finesse, you kinda want to get in the story and break the code yourself. If you're drawn to those bad-boy types. Which I am. So, what brings the rating down a 1/2 star, is some plot points that didn't make sense. Maybe it was addressed in the story and I missed it, but for one, if these 'cousins' are supposed to be protecting Alexia,why did they send Alexia to live so far away from all of the cousins? Since she only lived with her cousins during the summer, who was protecting her when they were separated during the school year? Why did Mel take so long in Arcadia for training when others only went for a few days, and why was she so angry when she returned?Maybe these are minor complaints, but I think are worth mentioning. Really, those are not enough to ever stop reading the series, or to stop me from recommending this book (which I have)!
review 2: Don't you just love a really good book? One that goes at the perfect speed, gives you time to fall in love with the characters and brings a big ol' smile to your face? I do. So, in reading this book, I was so happy to find that. The characters were easy to connect to, and I found this to be a really fun read! I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series. One thing I really, truly, loved about this book was the fact that it really didn't throw all the information at you at once. You know the books that do that? The ones that just seem to stuff the details down your throat all at once without giving you time to swallow? This one wasn't one of those. In a way, I think that the way that M.H. Soars wrote this book, in that nice, steady pacing, will make the book stay with me for a long time. One thing I should point out, there are sort of three main characters, so for those who don't like multiple POV's this may not be for you. However, I felt like the story wouldn't have been the same without it. It really made the story unfold perfectly, and I cannot wait to see what M.H. does with the next book. If you love a good paranormal/scifi/fantasy book, The Prophecy of Arcadia might just be for you! *I received this book for review from the author. This in no way affected my thoughts as expressed in this review* less
