2012 Debut Author Challenge: The Alchemy of Forever



The 2012 Debut Author Challenge is hosted by Kristi @thestorysiren!

The concept for this novel was interesting and unique. Overall it was a pretty good book! 

Cover: I am not a huge fan of the cover. The colors are pretty, but the girl does not represent the main character at all. 

Characters: I thought Seraphina was pretty fleshed out as a character.  Cyrus could have been expanded on though. Also, Kailey's friends could have had more importance, too. 

Plot: The idea of the book was good, but at some parts the author seems to have some events just glazed over. Either it seemed the characters were just going along and not questioning much, or someone just shows up out of the blue. I though the ending was good. I am a bit confused what is happening, but it makes me want to read the next book. Cyrus sorta creeped me out. He is a huge stalker... And the ending.. What???  It isn't a bad debut novel. It has its problems but the second book could be really good. I hope more information is released about the characters' pasts. 

3.75/5 stars
