Synopsis: Picture this, it’s your last night on the cruise ship. One would expect to drop it like it’s hot one more time or summon the courage to get up on stage and sing the karaoke song you choose days ago.
Of course, I didn't get the chance to partake in any of that, and I should be disappointed or even upset but I’m not, you see I anticipated this. As soon as he, Flame, also known as King Ezekiel’s right-hand man, boarded the ship, I knew without a doubt, something was going to happen.
So when the ship begins to sink, I don’t panic. I jump straight into action. You see, I’m not human, I’m referred to as Talented which are Angels. No, we don’t have wings, well not all of us anyway, and no our appearance is not human. We’re colorful, literally.
Now what I didn’t expect was for Flame to drag me to The Talented Kingdom under false pretenses, no less. If he didn’t make me tingle in weird places, I would have strangled him when he first boarded the ship.
I suppose going to The Talented Kingdom, isn’t bad. I mean, I’ll be around my people, and possibly get to see Flame butt naked. Which is great right? But something is telling me not to go and I don’t know why. Oh well, I guess I’ll figure it out when I get there, that’s if I don’t die first or fall into another coma.
Review: Overall, this was an ok book. The book had an interesting plot and that kept me reading the book. The book is also a fast paced read and ended on a cliff hanger, which makes me curious for the next one.
However, the characters weren’t developed in my opinion. There’s nothing really interesting about them and I didn’t feel connected to them. The writing was also jumbled and hard to read. The book wasn’t very well edited and it made it hard to keep track of who was saying what and what was going on. The writing is also really simplistic and it reads how a person is speaking, which can be confusing sometimes. I also think the book could be longer to help smooth out these parts. I also feel like the synopsis gives a bit too much away of the book.
Verdict: It was ok, but could use more editing.
