#2: Wings by Aprilynne Pike
So I picked up this ARC at work recently and I read it quickly and while I liked it well enough, I wasn’t really blown away by it. It has a blurb from Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight, who is apparently a friend of Pike’s, and while I’m not like, “I must read anything Stephenie Meyer has read” because obvs I don’t care about that, I’ve never seen a blurb from her on a book and I can’t imagine she does it very often and thus I was intrigued. There’s nothing really wrong with Wings, it just didn’t thrill me the way Twilight did. I guess it wasn’t campy or over-the-top enough, or maybe I don’t like faerie stories (this is the first one I’ve read), I have no idea. Plus, nothing makes me blank out faster than when someone says the word “vegan.” Still, the book stopped long before you find out anything really concrete about the faerie world Pike has created, so I’ll probably pick up at least one sequel, to see where this train is headed.
