One thing I thought detracted a bit from my enjoyment of this book over the first was that the plot was a little less engaging for me. Again, those looking for a story that celebrates the strength of diverse relationships between characters would likely find a lot to love here. It really opened opportunities to include diverse characters and locations that Stokes uses to her advantage. She doesn't tie herself down to a single setting and instead had Winter and the surrounding characters jet-setting off on an globe-trotting adventure over the course of the plot. In the interest of avoiding spoilers, I'll just say that there were some plot-twists in the first book that I didn't see coming and Paula Stokes used them to her benefit here to keep the story fresh and moving in directions I didn't exactly expect them to go.Īnother thing I enjoy about Stoke's writing is that she takes risks as a Young Adult author, especially writing in a contemporary setting. See this review and more like it on _Īfter the jaw dropping events of Vicarious, I was totally unsure how the events of this book could possibly play out.
