Honestly going into this novel, I was expecting a middle grade book. Not so, this is definitely a Young Adult Fantasy complete with a romance (clean) and a dystopian/apocalyptic world though we don't see a lot of that. There are several worlds we see and it's interesting how the authors chose to narrate the novel. I'll start with Dephon Johnson. He's a bit of a weakling. He's not exactly a "nerd" in that he's not especially smart. He likes to read, but that doesn't really make him a nerd. He'sSo I read this because one of the authors was in my class and I just picked it up because I like fantasy.It was really good!Off the top of my head:+ banter+ fully created world+ great use of flashback+ great characterizationSome parts, were admittedly a little slow, and I had a few preference issues (like, I don't like how inner strength/magic seemed to correlate with physical beauty; i don't like sappy story lines; Hyalee specifically said her name was Hi-a-lee and not Hay-lee, and she was
What an interestingly paranormal twist on a dystopian. Yeah, that was a mouthful, but this book definitely warrants it. With the only downfall being it's lack of a solid back story, The Exemeus was a thrill ride, and an enjoyable, quick-paced read for those who enjoy all genres of YA.A little known fact about me: I love magic in ALL of it's forms. But actual magic gets me every time. This book had magic, and then some, in varying and wonderful degrees. The Exemeus revolves around Dephon,
I just have to say it: Wow! What a fabulous story. I will admit that when I began I wasnt that drawn in. I was expecting more of a story in line with the synopsis above and I wasnt getting it. I think this synopsis would be better suited to the overall series and not just this book.The protagonist, Dephon is a bit of a geek, no friends, gets picked on by all the school bullies. His world is bleak and ominous. It reminded me of Orwells 1984 in some ways. Dephons father spends his days staring at
This is a book I won in a FirstReads giveaway. I felt bad for not liking this book and giving it a small rating; but if I had rated it higher, it would have been a pity rating, sadly. It had So Much Potential. But it just really fell flat. I guess I'm the only one who feels this way, because everybody else is rating it so high, so maybe one day I'll go back and finish it.But it will not be today. So! Good points first!! The writing style stuck out to me the most. It was a very unique style,
The summary does not do this story justice. Nor is it quite how I would describe this book. It is SO much more! This has been one of the greatest books I have read so far this year!The book starts off with young Dephon meeeting a strange woman and given a book (The Exemeus) and told he has 10 days to read it before others would try to kill him. He learns his life is much more than he grew up knowing and it is about to be turned completely upside down.The setting is a couple decades in the future
