Also, Pike sets up a love triangle between Laurel, a human boy from school named David, and a mythical character named Tamani. But Wings definitely felt like a debut novel to me. I won't give examples, since I'm reviewing from the advance copy, and these things may be changed. However, I personally found the dialog to be a bit stilted, and some of the descriptive passages felt cliched.
I think that many Twilight fans will enjoy Wings. Wings features hidden worlds, suspense and treachery, as well as family loyalty and close parent-child relationships. Laurel is a likeable character, and I did find it intriguing watching her discover the truth about her origins.
I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about Wings, overall. If she had to be indoors, she wanted to at least see outside." (, ARC) Apparently, now that she was fifteen, it meant public high school in a slightly less tiny town.Īfter double-checking her schedule, Laurel found the biology lab and hurried to claim a seat by the windows. When she was five, that had meant being homeschooled in a tiny town. But her parents were determined to do everything right for their only child. Homeschooling had worked just fine for Laurel over the last ten years she didn't see any reason for that to change. There's nothing worse than being exactly where you don't want to be. As she walked through the halls of Del Norte High, people watched her pass with curious eyes. "Laurel's shoes flipped a cheerful rhythm that defied her dark mood.
I was curious about Laurel, and how she would manage in high school. After that, attempting to fit in becomes much more difficult. Then, just as school is starting to get easier, Laurel discovers an odd bump between her shoulder blades (you may be able to guess from the title what happens next). Laurel has a bit of trouble adjusting to school - people question her oddly restricted diet, and she finds it nearly impossible to stay indoors all day. Wings is the story of a teenage girl named Laurel who is starting school for the first time, after 10 years of homeschooling.
I had heard good things about Aprilynne Pike's Wings, first book in a projected four-title series (and already optioned by Disney for a movie starring Miley Cyrus).
