review 1: What a great idea this book is, as it is a parallel book to "A Twist of Fate" novel. It tells the POV of many of the central characters. Plus, the author also added an Interview Section, where she interviews all the main characters in this wonderful Series.I really wish more authors would use this concept.It allowed me to understand the character more and made the reading of the Twist of Fate, even that more meaningful.Rating 4.25
review 2: I normally don’t like prequels or novellas that go back in time. I like to move forward and get impatient when I have to go back in time no matter how much the novella might fill in the gaps. So I was a bit sceptical when I started this book. But this book is different! Even though I thoroughly enjoyed this step back in ti... moreme, I was confused as to why I was enjoying this so much, but then it hit me. I had an epiphany! First of all, it’s NOT a prequel; it’s a companion novel so the reader isn't taken back to a time before A Twist of Fate is written. Secondly, A Twist of Fate is entirely written from Lexi’s POV as is A Leap of Faith, except for one chapter and this is the first big difference. None of this book is written from Lexi’s POV. I think the best way to explain Twisted Views is to use a quote from T. Gepart herself in the Preface." It was only after the second part of the Lexi series, A Leap of Faith, had been published and I was writing the third and final instalment, A Time for Hope, that I felt I needed to go back and revisit the first book again and let some on the facets of the other characters come to light.” And that is exactly, what the author does BUT it is so much more.Remember I said that I had that little ‘epiphany’? Now is the time to tell you whatit was. Now each chapter revisits a moment of time in the series, but from a different character’s POV. But that’s not it. The reader doesn't only visualise the events from another character’s POV, but we also get an insight into what they’re thinking so, in my opinion, I felt like I was reading a snippet in the diary/journal of each of these characters. Now that can only be achieved because of T. Gepart’s writing. Her writing skills allow us to look at an event through different characters’ eyes. These ‘diary entries’ allow the reader to see a different perspective while also having a good laugh; or maybe that’s just me; but I don’t think so. There’s even a reference to Candy Crush which used to be one of my addictions until I gave it up because it is SO frustrating. I almost forgot to mention the Interviews with your favourite characters found at the end of the book. They were classic!To sum it up, T. Gepart has done it again. I loved it! I gave it 5 out of 5 stars and I can’t wait to read A Time for Hope.Written by Karen from Confessions of a Bookaholic less
