I do think the overall concept for this novel sounds truly fascinating, and I'm glad to hear that the author isn't afraid to challenge the implications and terrifying possibilities inherent in Nolan and Amara's powers.<br />Wonderful review, Melissa!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-22074619325082047262014-05-21T17:00:35.741-04:002014-05-21T17:00:35.741-04:00I love novels that push the boundaries of their ge...I love novels that push the boundaries of their genres and admire authors who dare to add diversity of any kind within ther novels, so I'll definitely be checking this one out soon, Melissa - gorgeous review!Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-60747164435917318092014-05-20T18:18:55.851-04:002014-05-20T18:18:55.851-04:00Yay!

I don't read much LGBT or Fantasy and I feel like reading this is one of those "two birds, one stone" kind of things, plus it just sounds pretty amazing. I'm just really interested in Amelia's reality.

How does he come out of it? I can only imagine the reaction of people back home if he told this story. They'd send him straight to the nuthouse! This sounds really good!
