Narrative To Books The Girl at Midnight (The Girl at Midnight #1)
Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from all but one human: Echo, a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market.The Avicen are the only family Echo has ever known, so when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it’s time to act. Legend has it that to end the conflict once and for all, Echo must find the firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, though if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it’s how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it.

The Avicen and the Drakharin are at war for petty reasons. Drakharin believe the Avicen took their magical power for their own and there's been strife between the two races ever since. To stop the war, there is an ancient legend about a firebird that will bring them ever lasting peace. In the middle is Echo, a human who is adopted into the Avicen. She's never fit in considering she's not their kind, and they do little to welcome her. Then she meets Caius, a Drakharin who is unlike her boyfriend.Actual rating: Strong 3.5 starsListen up, Fantasy nerds. I'm going to give you six very good reasons why you should make The Girl at Midnight a priority on your TBR list.1. Do you like snarky dialogue? Yes or yes?Echo's snark game is on point. I personally love a main character who can pull her own weight and let her snark flag fly free. There were several times where I legit laughed out loud. Considering I am a robot, that was impressive. Well played, Grey.2. Are you on the market for a new
What did I think?Hmm. Okay. Well...I fucking loved it.They said this is a mix of Shadow and Bone and Daughter of Smoke and Bone, both series that I absolutely LOVED (even tough the latter series didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted it to, but it still a favourite). And man, were they ever right. Because, you know, sometimes when a book is claiming to be just like another popular series, they turn out to be totally wrong and it just doesn't make any sense.ANYWAYS. Like I was saying, I loved
It has been pointed out far too many times that The Girl at Midnight shares many similarities with Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. Some might consider this to be a compliment and an instant recommendation, but for me, it was a sign that I should consider very carefully before reading it. But while it was clear right from the start that the stories do indeed share many elements, it was also clear to me that The Girl at Midnight lacks that pretentiousness I strongly disliked in Taylors
Basically, what this book boils down to is mathematics. I hate maths, but that's not the point. I didn't hate this book at all. This book was fine. But I can't write a wall of text for it because honestly, it all comes down to basic addition and division, and remember vectors? Dude, I had no idea what they were talking about with vectors. To this day I couldn't tell you what they are, except that they're also the things that Lucy from Elfen Lied used to fuck shit up in small-town Japan.So here's
..:*Actual Rating: 3.8 stars ..:*What to expect from a first-in-a-series fantasy? Ample amounts of sarcasm and wit (mhmmm my favourite), inevitable tropes and a fun country-hopping scavenger hunt. The Girl At Midnight is easily one of my most anticipated releases of the year. Not because of the cover colour scheme (which, I wont lie, does tickle my fancy), nor due to the Book A meets Book B comparison (which is 99.9% of the time completely off). Its because the premise attempts (and quite
