Ava, a teenage girl living aboard the male-dominated deep space merchant ship Parastrata, faces betrayal, banishment, and death. Taking her fate into her own hands, she flees to the Gyre, a floating continent of garbage and scrap in the Pacific Ocean, in this thrilling, surprising, and thought-provoking debut novel that will appeal to fans of Across the Universe, by Beth Revis, and The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood.

Review:

There are many possible motivations for finishing a book. Salvage maintained by attention by making me curious. I wanted to know the ending of Ava's story, and explore the different societies a bit more.

When you have a book like Salvage, reading it isn't too bad. There was something about the story that always fascinated me. In a review however, Salvage will get much less credit. That's because it's a mediocre read. It's not bad in any way, but no specific component feels amazing either. When you consider the whole of the book, it is certainly adequate reading material, but I don't walk away really feeling impressed.

The descriptions are overly long, and rather dull. Salvage felt like an extremely long read with many unnecessary details. In all honesty, I didn't mind these extra nuggets of information just because I was reading Salvage to experience a world different from ours, but they didn't add much to the story. Everything was so wordy and it's ridiculous that the ARC I read had over 500 pages.

The story is very simple, without too many layers. Salvage is supposed to be a story about the development of Ava. Her life changes drastically as she struggles to find her place. I never felt really emotionally invested in the story, and I think part of that is how vague the plot was. I honestly didn't know what I was waiting for. There were no typical villains or story arc. Salvage's plot is more like waves. There are crescendos of rising action that lead to small climaxes, and then the story goes back to building up. The climaxes weren't that interesting. A few characters died, and looking back, Salvage was supposed to be way more tragic than it felt.

I think Salvage is comparable to a contemporary just by the way the plot kind of ebbs. It's about the journey, and it's not a bad ride. Salvage will probably be described as sci-fi, but it's really a very light sci-fi. The most fascinating part of Salvage were the sociological elements. For example, Ava and her crewe have interesting slang and customs. They live in a place where women are second rate, meant to be pure of the earth, while men can take multiple wives. Ava herself is destined for marriage, as she is "so girl" which I took to mean that she's someone important. There is definitely some culture shock, and that would be the fascinating part for me.

The world wasn't explained. Salvage introduces you to spaceside and a new Earth, and there's some vague mention of there being something wrong with the Earth, but there didn't seem to be any kind of real conflict that caused this issue. I really have no idea why the world in Salvage is the way that it is, and the author isn't obligated to tell me. These kind of details are appreciated, though.

One other cool aspect to Salvage is that it's a diverse read. There are different languages used, but so weirdly. For example, one character says "fi" and uses French words, except everyone speaks English perfectly as well. When different languages are used, they aren't spelled properly. Sticking with the example of "fi', it means girl in French and should be spelled 'fille'. I don't know if this deviation was intentional or not, nor whether it would be adjusted in the final copy. It was interesting, though.

I haven't really talked about Ava that much and that's probably because she wasn't too remarkable. Her character does grow and adapt, and I liked seeing that. She becomes more practical, and in some ways she's an infant but in others, she's strong and capable. I wish I connected with her more, because then Salvage could have been so much more enjoyable.

Salvage, overall, is a meh read. If you're looking for something a little different and light, it's worth a shot. I don't feel like it's a book that will elicit a strong reaction, though. I'm giving it 2 stars, but it's on the high end of that just because I was fascinated in the idea and managed to finish Salvage, which counts for something, right?

We readers can be very ritualistic. We all have little things that get us excited and make us want to read a book. I know that some of us also have some weird habits when it comes to choosing books. These are our habits.

Mari

To be honest, I've become less ritualistic now but I used to have one that you may find interesting.

1. Go to the library and pick up all the books.
2. Spread all the books cover first.
3. Rank in order of most intriguing / favourite cover.
4. Turn the books over and read their synopsis'.
5. Rank in order of interest.
6. Read the first one.

In case of a series, then I usually read the sequel before I read a new book. I didn't always stick to the list and I sure as heck didn't always finish all the books I had. 

Now, it simply scouring the internet until I find a book that really interests me. Stalk some reviews and then hunt the book down. This methods has severely cut down on my reading as I've become a really moody reader and the book has to be exactly what I want at that specific time. Hence, I often find myself on google searching up "books about----".

P.E.

I have two different rituals.

Library Ebooks

1. Go to teen fiction section and order books based on date published. 
2. Goodreads a book. If it's below an average 3.7 rating, I probably won't read the book. I usually like books to have a 3.8 rating or higher. Maybe I'll also briefly skim the first few reviews. 
3. Download books to Kobo. 
4. With ebooks, Kobo will show a few of them on the main screen. I'll just read the biggest one, and go on from that. 

Books

1. Acquire them (through the library, borrow them, buy, anything). 
2. I rank them in order of interest. 
3. I read in reverse order from least interesting to most interesting. This motivates me to get through slow books so I can read that one amazing book at the end. 

When I was younger, I used to put all my books on the ground and do eenie meenie miney mo and make a large pile that I would leave near my bed. When I finished a book, it would go on the "finished pile" and I would just pick the next book from my large tower of books to read. I don't read as much as I used to, so I don't do that anymore.

When her father is killed in a coup, 15-year-old Laila flees from the war-torn middle east to a life of exile and anonymity in the U.S. Gradually she adjusts to a new school, new friends, and a new culture, but while Laila sees opportunity in her new life, her mother is focused on the past. She’s conspiring with CIA operatives and rebel factions to regain the throne their family lost. Laila can’t bear to stand still as an international crisis takes shape around her, but how can one girl stop a conflict that spans generations? 

J.C. Carleson delivers a fascinating account of a girl—and a country—on the brink, and a rare glimpse at the personal side of international politics.

*Bonus Backmatter includes a note about the author's CIA past, and a commentary by RAND researcher and president of ARCH International, Dr. Cheryl Benard. Recommendations for further reading are also included. 

Review:

The Tyrant's Daughter disappointed me, but I think I am the person that is mostly to blame. What I didn't like was a conscious decision by the author to make Laila's story universal. Laila and her family never originated from any one country, nor did they speak their own language. I don't even know if Laila actually was religious or not. Every single detail about Laila's culture was vague enough that it belonged to no specific country. After reading the author's note, I realize that this was done on purpose. The Tyrant's Daughter doesn't attempt to emulate or base itself off some real life crisis. It is instead meant to be about one girl, the daughter of a dictator, and her family's actions through her perspective.

The author chose not to include any identifying cultural details, and my problem is that I wanted that. I never read YA about the Middle East, and I was so excited about what I believed to be a story about a girl forced to leave her country to live in the West. I wanted the details about adjusting and reconciling the two cultures. Ultimately, I was hoping for a story that didn't exist, and that is the root of my disappointment. It is totally my fault for assuming something like this. At the same time, knowing logically that my disappointment is more about what the story isn't, won't change my emotions.

I think that I am probably a harsher critic for this book than most people because I do have some personal knowledge on adjusting to different cultures and ties to the Middle East. The story didn't really teach me anything new. Nor would I say anyone reading The Tyrant's Daughter would glean anything other than an absolutely basic, and I mean basic, understanding of Middle Eastern culture. So, this book is not one that will really teach anybody anything about the Middle East, but it is a useful story if you look at it from a more human perspective. Laila's struggles with reconciling knowing her father is a bad man, but still loving him is really what's supposed to be the star of the story.

Regardless of the vague world building, I thought the story was weak because Laila didn't really know anything. Her mother was scheming and Laila always knew something was going on, but she never realized the specifics until the end. Her role in the big arc was so small that it took away from the plot. Instead, The Tyrant's Daughter focused on Laila's new life. It was about her adjusting to American culture and I guess this was weak for me because a lot of the remarks weren't all that insightful as there never was a definite culture for Laila to compare her new world with. I couldn't really understand Laila's culture shock because somethings she let go of so easily and others she held on. I don't believe culture is something that you can let go as easily as Laila did. This is just from my experience, but it is ingrained in you from the day you are born to act a certain way and the way Laila was able to let go of certain beliefs didn't make sense to me. I'm not saying it's impossible, but for me, it was completely unrealistic. Laila's school life was utterly boring to me. It was very regular contemporary school-ish, which is fine if you're into that kind of thing, but I'm not. I thought the more interesting parts were the CIA storyline which was very short.

In terms of characters, two stood out: Amir and Laila's mother. Amir was angry with the world and for good reason. His part was the most emotional I got during The Tyrant's Daughter, and I was fascinated by his mixture of hate and his desire to have the world be a better place. Laila's mother was a strong woman coping with the loss of her husband. She was solely in charge of her children, and her airy, manipulative ways were fascinating to me. I could imagine her very easily and I enjoyed reading about her. I suppose I should write about Laila. I don't have much to say about her. She didn't interest me very much, nor did I connect with her.

If I had known The Tyrant's Daughter would lack so many cultural details, I wouldn't have read it. That's because it would not interest me on a personal basis. Now that I have read it, the one major positive I can take is maybe what the author intended: I would like to be better educated on what is going on in the Middle East and the world. I took a politics course last semester that opened my eyes a lot, but there's still a long way to go. There's so much more to the world.

This may sound harsh, but I personally though the author's note and the commentary were the most inspiring parts of the story. This is a topic I'm interested in (world conflict) and I think I will continue to read books dealing with the subject. But for people that aren't interested in the facts as much, I think you'll enjoy The Tyrant's Daughter much more than I did. I believe it's for younger YA, and if it opens anyone's eyes than it's a book worth reading. This one just didn't work for me at all.

I love that sentence! It makes the whole synopsis for me. It's so magical, and fairytale-esque that it just makes me happy. I clicked on this because I was prompted by the stunning cover and the synopsis made me stay. Can't wait to see more reviews on it.

Cover Wars is a weekly showdown of two beautiful covers. The winner, as voted by you, goes on to face a new cover, and wins bragging rights. This is basically a fun way to discuss what we like in covers.

They All Fall Down fell last week to the popular cover of Mortal Danger. This week the champion is back to face Kiss, Kill, Vanish by Jessica Martinez.

Mortal Danger caught many voters attention last week with it's rough and edgy cover. The cover manages to have a little bit of softness as long with the rough. The bleeding infinite is rough but then the cursive typography of the title softens it up a bit. The cover is also rid of much colour. On the other hand, Kiss Hill Vanish is filled with colour. The background is quiet and almost sad because of the models pose but the title stands out with a splash of colour behind it instantly catching the readers attention.

So, which'll it be? Let the Cover Wars begin!

High Fantasy novels scare me. When I start one, I never know if I will be reading my new favourite series or reading the most tedious book in the existence of humanity. I suppose you could say this for all book genres, but it's especially true to fantasy. First, let's talk about the Boom.

BOOM!

Compared to the amount of high fantasy I read, it's probably unexpected that some of my favourite books are high fantasy. Graceling, Poison Study, Finnikin of the Rock, Shadow and Bone all come to mind. I love shows like Game of Thrones too. At its very best, fantasy is all engrossing. 

It's a completely imaginative new world with a different set of rules from that of our own. Fantasy is thrilling. There are so many enormous battles and prophecies. There is this undeniable feeling of fate. There is action, and magic, and overall, the story telling in fantasy is epic and phenomenal.

There are no fantasies I like. 

When fantasy clicks, it's storytelling and heroics and politics merged into this beautiful, epic read. It's not a book I like but a book that instantly becomes part of my favourites. I'll gush about it everywhere because it's that awesome. Fantasy, when it clicks, is a beautiful thing.

BUST

But when it flops, there is no comparison to how irritated a fantasy book can make me. When it doesn't work, fantasy is slow and complicated. It's full of irrelevant characters I give no shits about and by the end of the book, I end up wishing that every character would just die because they irritate me so much. I'm not usually that bitter in real life, but some fantasy books just bring out the worst in me. 

To this day, if you ask me what was the worst book ever, I could point you towards Modelland by Tyra Banks which I started to read as a comedy because it was so godawful in terms of plot, character development, world building, plausibility... pretty much anything you need in a book was done badly. 

Many high fantasies try to be epic, and when they fail at that, I am extremely harsh on them. Ellen Oh's Prophecy is one book I can't stand. I thought everything was forced. I also despised reading The Golden Compass (description overload), Garth Nix's Sabriel series, wasn't into Narnia (beyond The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe).

Some fantasies have awful lingo that I can't get over, and the imagery bores me. I don't really visualize much when I read, so reading descriptions of some kind of half scorpion, a quarter dragon, a quarter porcupine thing does not sound appealing. When a fantasy tries to be interesting by having descriptions of different types of worlds rather than having action (of the type I like), I shut it down.

Is it just a fantasy thing?

Other genres elicit similar responses from me, but none to the extremities that fantasy does. I'm always a little cautious about fantasy, because on the one hand, I adore it. I love the mysticism, I love the action, and the possibilities are really glorious. On the other hand, I'm not a hardcore fantasy reader. I can't join a fantasy fan club because it's really not my genre of choice- I think speculative fiction with a focus on characterization and plot, is. 

What do you think? Are you a fantasy fan? Or do you avoid fantasy?

The Weekly Progress is a type of wrap up post that happens every Sunday on The Sirenic Codex looking on the week that was.

I wasn't around the blog very much last week, and to be honest I don't really remember much of last week except that I read a pretty awesome book. So let's just move on to that.

Books Read

What an amazing, incredible read. I adore this book. I got it from the library and I'm considering buying it to reread. This series is going to be huge. 

Currently Reading

I've heard so many good things, so I'm super psyched for this one!

On the Blog

First I wrote about reading about tragedy, which is something I've never felt really comfortable with. 

Next, I reviewed ACID, which I thought was pretty meh, but others seem to have enjoyed. 

Then, Mari picked Played for WoW, which seems a little in the Perfect Chemistry mold.

Mari then kicked off a new series of posts (we're using the terms "series" very loosely because I haven't started mine yet) where we'll be looking at different relationships in YA. We started with family.

Next, Mari reviewed Poison Dance. 

The Week That Was

Not a very notable week, except that Red Rising was really good and I still can't get over that. I missed writing TWP last week because I went to a hockey game and saw my favourite team win 6-3, which was pretty awesome. Well, then they lost pretty miserably the next couple games, so I guess I'm back to normal. 

Besides freaking out for a major accounting test, nothing really happened. This week is looking up though. First of all, GAME OF THRONES TONIGHT AHHH! I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch it live so I'm going to make sure to avoid Twitter. But I'm honestly so excited for Game of Thrones, or as I like to call it, The Best Show EVER. 

Song of the Week

I listened to a lot of music this week, an insane amount of it new. It's actually strange because I have about five picks for Song of the Week. Festival season is coming, which means that everyone is creating new music and releasing it. Anyway, my pick is going to be Avicii. I don't give him the credit he deserves here, and I listened to this song and fell in love with it. It's a little different from what I usually pick because it has more of a string-ish focus. It sounds pretty organic, and it has no vocals unlike other Avicii songs so it probably won't be as popular, but the melodies are fantastic, imo. Definitely a moody, yet soothing song. Okay, here it is: Heart Upon My Sleeve!

James is skilled, efficient, and deadly, a hired blade navigating the shifting alliances of a deteriorating Assassin’s Guild. Then he meets Thalia, an alluring but troubled dancing girl who offers him a way out—if he’ll help her kill a powerful nobleman. With the Guild falling apart, it just might be worth the risk. But when you live, breathe, and love in a world that’s forever flirting with death, the slightest misstep can be poison. 

AMAZON / GOODREADS

Review:

I'm not one to usually read novellas, but every now and then there are exceptions; Poison Dance is one of them. I was automatically hooked after reading the synopsis. Who wouldn't be? There are assassins! Also, I'm desperately pining for the novel to come out, so this was a welcomed treat.

Poison Dance's strength resides in its world building. Despite the restriction of approximately 50 pages, Livia Blackburne managed to create a great visual of the world. I was interested to read about the Assassin's Guild and their past. I now have a beginning image of the world Blackburne is creating and I'm liking what I'm seeing, especially the trade caravans, which I thought were a very cute and enriching addition.

The novella has a very simple plot and we are introduced to it from the first chapter. Thalia wishes to obtain James, an assassin's, help with someone. Of course, problems ensue but because of the length I found the story to be lacking depth and it was too predictable at times. This led to me not understanding some of the characters' actions, especially Thalia. I didn't like her much and I didn't see what James saw.

James, on the other hand, I really liked. He was calm and calculating, as I would expect an assassin to be. I definitely want to see more of him, especially after the ending. I saw it coming, but I also didn't see it coming. I'm in between.

Overall, Poison Dance is really quite short and light but, it was exactly what I needed. This book isn't meant to be analyzed. It was fun, quick, interesting and gave a taste of what was in store for us in the novel. I enjoyed it.

-MARI

It seems that now a days YA books are more focused on the romance aspect of relationships, and while that's fine I know there are a lot of readers that prefer things like family, friendship and brotherhoods. There not hard to come by though sometimes one has to look more closely.

I adore families in YA. We all have one and kind of know the process. They are chaotic, sometimes stoic, can be annoying but always loveable. Each person has their own place in the family and that place cannot be filled by anyone but them.

Mari's Favourites

My absolute favourite family, is the Weasley family from Harry Potter. I come from a small household so I'm always fascinated and a little shocked by big families. The Weasley's are perfection. They are rowdy, loving, ginger headed witches/wizards! They aren't the most well off, but money isn't what they live on. Their home is filled with love and that's the most important thing in a family. It's a place where you feel safe and loved.

A more realistic family is in Morgan Matson's Second Chance Summers. It presents a modern family who decide to get away for the summer to their old cottage. The relationship that really stands out in this book, is between the main character and her father. You can see their bond clearly. Taylor was evidently a daddy's girl and it was great to see that relationship. We also get to watch the Edwards family come together in the face of tragedy and it's really refreshing and beautiful to watch.

P.E.'s Choice

Mari already picked my favourite, the Weasley family, and it was pretty hard to think of another really prominent family. 

Then, I remembered White Cat by Holly Black. Cassel is part of a family of "Curse Workers" and he is the only one without any magic. Throughout the series, there is an enormous emphasis on family. Cassel's family is a bit like the mafia because they have all engaged in illegal activity, and Cassel struggles to reconcile loving them and wanting to be good. The forgiveness, the anger, and the knowledge that family will always matter makes the Curse Workers series one of my favourite worlds to visit.

The year is 2113. In Jenna Strong's world, ACID—the most brutal controlling police force in history—rule supreme. No throwaway comment or whispered dissent goes unnoticed—or unpunished. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a horrendous crime she struggles to remember. But Jenna's violent prison time has taught her how to survive by any means necessary. 

When a mysterious rebel group breaks her out, she must use her strength, speed, and skill to stay one step ahead of ACID, and try to uncover the truth about what really happened on that terrible night two years ago. They have taken her life, her freedom, and her true memories away from her. How can she reclaim anything when she doesn't know who to trust?

Strong, gritty writing, irresistible psychological suspense, and action consume the novel as Jenna struggles to survive against the all-controlling ACID. Seriously sinister stuff.

Review:

ACID was one of those arcs that I picked up because of the cover. The teen librarian at my local library is awesome and allows us volunteers to read her arcs. I wanted to read ACID because it looked like it was action packed, and badass.

ACID was not a bad read. Jenna's story started out fascinating. She was in an all male prison for two years. She escaped, and now she's on the run from ACID, the Agency for Crime Investigation and Defence. The world is kind of weird because ACID has taken over control of what was formerly Great Britain, and now the country is in a military state and alienated from the rest of Europe. There were a lot of flaws to the world building. A lot of them were political and didn't really take into account what would realistically happen. If a world superpower in Great Britain, an example of democracy, fell apart, I'm pretty sure NATO and the UN would get involved. ACID takes place a century into the future in our world and there does seem to be some kind of international court, so the logistics really don't make sense.

But, this is fiction right? After I suspended my disbelief, ACID became entertaining. The plot wasn't overly original or shocking. A lot of the twists about Jenna were predictable. ACID kind of feels like a typical thriller with minimal realism, but I still enjoyed it. I wanted to know what happened to Jenna as she was a fugitive. I was curious about the world, even if it could have used some more details. ACID is also incredibly readable. I don't know if it's because I just came off reading and incredibly slow book, but it did a good job at capturing my interest.

One of my favourite parts to ACID were the news articles and letters and military documents before the beginning of some chapters. The media gave a better understanding of Jenna's world, and I'm always a huge fan of visual aids and creative extras. I thought the notices at the side, as well as the "click here" parts were well done.

I think ACID would have been stronger if it was better developed. The beginning started out strong with lots of action. Then it became quieter and one thing I didn't like was that the characters didn't stand out very much. They all seemed a little generic, except for Jacob who was predictably creepy. Besides Jenna, whom I had a full book to be acquainted with, I can't really explain the other characters at all. Jenna was not a bad character, but she wasn't someone I connected to very well. Overall, the emotional connection in Acid was lacking.

There was a romance which wasn't all that interesting. I don't really know the love interest that well and I thought Jenna's attraction to him was pretty fast. There were parts of the story that were meant to be hard hitting, but I couldn't really care all that much. There wasn't very much suspense, and the ending was very weak.

I don't like when everything turns out fine. That's pretty much what happened, and I know that many will be pleased that ACID is a standalone but considering the ending, I can't believe that was enough. The world building was sub par, and the overall story arc was too much for one book.

While I was reading ACID, I didn't have too many issues with it. It was reasonably interesting, but now that I'm done, I don't like some parts of ACID. I don't like all the juggling between storylines and how they were initiated and ignored (including a pretty important one considering the love interest) and overall, ACID didn't impress me. It's not a story to avoid, and I think it's great if you're looking for a light, quick action read. 2 stars.
