The editor decides that surrender is the better part of valor and everyone learns an important lesson that day. I learned it from the mother of this egg I stole before I gave a right hook and uppercut to a shark.' 'I could devote ten boring pages to giving some lameass sciency explanation of the Aether or I could add in 20% more awesome. Rossi pins the editor with a withering gaze. YA takes it for granted that a 108 year old vampire would fall in love with a teenager. 'Well, you never clarify how it works? Why it's there? How did it come to be there?' She pulls out a raw falcon egg and starts eating it. Rossi sits back in her chair and kicks her feet up onto the editor's table. What is it? Where did it come from? How does it work?' We love your first copy but we're concerned about this Aether thing. I can just imagine how her meeting with the editor went: Mostly I'm just impressed with Rossi because she clearly is a badass. It wasn't a perfect novel but I feel that it achieved what it was meant to and that was inspiring me to invest in Aria and Perry's story. The writing is fair enough and I felt that it was reasonably tight and serviceable. The world building is fascinating and vivid, yet simplistic enough for most audiences to grasp reasonably well. There's a lot to like about Rossi's futuristic science-fiction novel. eventually, the main characters, Aria and Perry, are what stacked it back to being a great read.

It could either land back on solid ground or go toppling off into the deep end.

This book was teetering on a precipice for me. If you said they're both Holden Caulfield then you get the gold star. Name the biggest praise and the biggest complaint about J.D. Sometimes your book reading experience comes down to one single factor: Do you like the MC?
