Hmmm...kinda bummed the voice isn't YA realistic. Still, I'm looking forward to cracking the spine on this one!

I do agree that the teen voice wasn't entirely realistic, though. Nora's mannerisms and just the way she thought about stuff...I wasn't entirely convinced. Still really liked it overall though.

I have seem mixed reviews from my GR friends but I still think I'll be really enjoying it. I actually like that the character sounds older (I find a lot of YA novels, the "teenagers" definitely don't sounds like when I was a teen O_O). Awesome review Leanna!Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-37331140688323415422012-02-20T19:45:18.058+00:002012-02-20T19:45:18.058+00:00The Rule of Four sounds good!!

Being an older reader of YA, I kind of like that Nora seems a bit older with the absence of her parents, but having said that I absolutely understand how it could also be a drawback. Can't wait to give this one a try, so glad you enjoyed it overall Leanna!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-23044978112210201822012-02-18T22:40:18.775+00:002012-02-18T22:40:18.775+00:00Fab review, I love the cover for this one and can&...Fab review, I love the cover for this one and can't wait to get around to it, glad you enjoyed!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384805896552240183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-43725666197479015322012-02-18T21:13:30.384+00:002012-02-18T21:13:30.384+00:00I can't wait to read this one.

Yet at the same time I'm worried about the teen voices being truly realistic, like you were.
