Veronica 's Reviews > Transformation

Don't think. Don't wonder. Just go. Just do. What comes, comes, and you will survive it or not.

This was my first book by Carol Berg and it's a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. Seriously, just overlook the cheesy cover and dive into this book. There are memorable characters, unlikely journeys - both physical and emotional, and plenty of feels along the way. This book had me from the very first paragraph and never let go. Although it's the first book in a trilogy, it's almost presented as a self-contained story, meaning readers can choose to stop here since there is no cliffhanger ending. But why would anyone want to do that? I personally plan to follow Seyonne and Aleksander wherever they may lead.

**Reread in January 2021: This story held up really well on a second read. It was a risky choice to present readers with such a thoroughly unlikeable character as Aleksander. It's a testament to the author's skill in character development that his transformation (see what I did there?) over the course of the book is totally believable. My original four star rating still stands. I did this reread by listening to the audiobook and the narration gets 5 stars.
