Why I read it/how I found it: This is the sequel to Paranormalcy.
Description:
Evie finally has the normal life she’s always longed for. But she’s shocked to discover that being ordinary can be . . . kind of boring. Just when Evie starts to long for her days at the International Paranormal Containment Agency, she’s given a chance to work for them again. Desperate for a break from all the normalcy, she agrees.
But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie’s faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there’s a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.
So much for normal.
Review:
Just as funny and entertaining as its predecessor, I can say that I really enjoyed Supernaturally. This book has a lot of great character development and exploration. Obviously, as this is Evie's story she discovers the most about herself, but I think that other characters were presented full-fleshed. We find out more about Arianna in this one, and we meet Jack, who isn't just a this-is-how-he-is character. I'd read a whole other book on Jack, I'd love to explore more of his complexities. Sometimes I did feel like I was just being tossed from one situation to another, but looking back it all came back together in Evie's growth more than for a plotline. And while there is a plot, this book is very much a character-driven book.
Other information: The last book in the trilogy is Endlessly and will be coming out next summer. Paranormalcy is also opted for a film. Kiersten White's website is here.
I'm excited to read this one! I loved Paranormalcy and am so happy to hear it's sequel is great too. Not that I expected anything less than greatness!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've definitely got to read this. And *Endlessly*? I love the title. Great review!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. It's not a book I would immediately pick up, but I like your enthusiasm for the series. :O)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this one. I really dug Paranormalcy :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't know it'll be a movie. That's awesome!
@Kimberly-Yes, it really is great! I think I enjoyed Paranormalcy a bit more, but Supernaturally is still awesome.
ReplyDelete@Jenna on a vlog, Kiersten said she chose Endlessly partly because it amused her to think the last book in a series would be called Endlessly when it, you know, the end.
@Madeleine It's a really fun read.
@Kelley It's only opted right now, but hopefully in the next few years we'll see it on the big screen!
i like it very much
