BookChick Recommends Wings
Review by Diane at “The Book Resort:“
Let me start this review off by saying, I don’t give a hoot if Stephanie Meyer endorses this book or not. This is Aprilynne Pike’s creation and not Meyer’s! So let’s talk about Pike and her debut novel Wings.
Is the buzz fluttering around this bestselling novel authentic or hype? You need to read “Wings” yourself before you rush to make judgments based on the blurb by Meyer. Lovers of Meyer’s works will rush to “Wings” based on the mega author’s backing. However, haters will dig in their heels and deny themselves the opportunity to experience Pike’s young adult fiction. Pike’s inimitable insight into the universe of faeries is momentous. Pike unearths a provocative symmetry between fantasy and reality. “Wings” is an enchanting contemporary fairy tale with the precise mix of excitement, humor, romance, friendship and peril. “Wings” does start slow and there are some lengthy moments but Pike builds momentum as the story unfolds. Pike’s writing is velvety and flows serenely. I have not read anything as one-of-a-kind as “Wings.” I am extremely interested in finding out where Pike is leading Laurel on this fun journey.
Thanks Diane!
