That’s how I feel for taking so long to read this book. It has been sitting in my Kindle for a long time, and I finally decided to check for myself what all the fuss was about. Well, now I know that Obsidian is an amazing book!
**At this point I have to make a quick side story. A few weeks ago I had to travel for business and of course, my trip took place on the first day of the FAA furlough. I was supposed to arrive at my destination at 2:00 and instead got there at 9:00! Anyway, I read the whole book and started another one (thank goodness for the longevity of my iPad’s battery!). End of whining (seriously one of the worst traveling experiences ever!) **
Did I mention that this book is amazing? The characters alone deserve a standing ovation. I mean Katy and Daemon together are a thing of beauty, I could actually see the sparks fly when they were close to each other. Katy is loyal, smart, well grounded, and brave. On the other hand, Daemon can be a bit abrasive and off putting (and gorgeous of course) but you can tell that he is a good guy deep down. I think he really enjoyed his babysitting duty. What do you think? Apart from them, we meet Dee and a few other high school friends and some of the other Lux that live close.
The plot is awesome! Did I mention that this book is about aliens? Such an incredible imagination! The story is full of discovery, twists and turns and even mystery. I’m not sure if I would have acted as cool as Katy did with all the strangeness going on, but I understand the allure. The writing is splendid, and goes hand in hand with the characterization. The story is action packed, even though we are introduced to a new sort of being and alien culture. I really don’t know what else to say about this incredible book, it’s a good thing I had all the time in the world to read it because I couldn’t put it down :)
