The plot is the bigger character in this book. Fiona is too whiny/ambivalent for my liking, while miles tended to grow on me. I do have a beef. If it took seven years for the author to write this book, it's really unfair to leave readers hanging at the end.Tags : Amazon.com: Echoes (9781640632479): Alice Reeds: Books,Alice Reeds,Echoes,Entangled: Teen,1640632476,Action & Adventure - Survival Stories,Romance - General,Thrillers & Suspense,Human trafficking,Islands;Fiction.,Memory;Fiction.,Romance fiction,Teenagers,Teenagers;Fiction.,Thrillers (Fiction),103702 Entangled Teen Distribution,Action & Adventure Survival Stories,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),Fiction-Thriller,JUVENILE,Juvenile Fiction,Juvenile Grades 7-9 Ages 12-14,Romance General,TEEN'S FICTION - ACTION & ADVENTURE,TEEN'S FICTION - SURVIVAL STORIES,TEEN'S FICTION ROMANCE,United States,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Action & Adventure Survival Stories,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Romance General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Thrillers & Suspense,Young Adult FictionAction & Adventure - Survival Stories,Young Adult FictionThrillers & Suspense
Echoes Alice Reeds Books Reviews
I requested a copy of this novel purely on reputation. A few blogger friends of mine said that this was supposed to be good and I trust their opinions, so I requested a review copy. I never read the blub, so I was in for a wild ride. Echoes is a young adult novel about survival with a bit of a science fiction twist. It was pretty good and kept me reading because I was so curious about what would happen next.
The characters were mediocre in my opinion. They were your run of the mill young adult male and female characters. They didn't feel like anything special. They weren't badly written or anything, they were just ordinary and a bit boring. By themselves they didn't stand out, but that was okay. This happens in a lot of young adult books, and if the plot and rest of the book is really good, a lot of time no one notices.
The plot was pretty interesting and really is what kept me reading. There were two alternating realities, one where Miles and Fiona were stranded on an island. That was the reality that I found most interesting. It felt similar to Cast Away at some times. In both that movie and this book people were trying to survive on an abandoned island that they had crash landed on. Cast Away is one of my favorite movies, partly because I love survival stories. I find it interesting trying to make it in the wild all alone and Miles and Fiona had to work to survive.
In the other reality, Miles and Fiona are stuck in Berlin where they were supposed to have a summer internship. The connection between the two realities and the plot where someone was after them kept me guessing. I felt curious and had questions that kept me reading throughout the whole book. But unfortunately some of those questions never got answered, the ending leaves you hanging without wrapping up some pretty important plot points.
The writing was more tell than show in some parts. For example, I was told about how Fiona's relationship with her father affected how she acted with male authority figures rather than shown that through her behavior and her actions. I think this was part of the reason that I never felt emotionally connected to the characters or the story. A lot of big moments fell flat and no matter what the characters went through it felt like it was conveyed in the same tone. The writing wasn't bad, it just failed to grip me emotionally.
The pacing was kind of slow, but the writing was good enough and the plot interesting enough that I kept reading. I expected it to be a lot better than it was though. I think that since I never felt emotionally connected to the characters it made the novel fall flat for me. It was okay, but it really wasn't anything special, I could take it or leave it. The ending was really disappointing though, I expected a lot of things to be explained and was left without some necessary explanations. It wasn't even a cliff hanger, rather than an unfinished story.
Echoes by Alice Reeds is the type of book that when finished I had to pick my jaw back up off the floor and thought about throwing my . And as much as that sounds like I hated this one I really didn’t, it’s actually rather brilliant. Talk about a book that will mess with your mind…
I don’t want to say too much about Echoes as you can tell the blurb is really kind of cryptic as to what you are getting and that’s a good thing, it’s one that you want to go in fresh and let the story slowly unfold around you.
So what I will say… the opening chapter is Fiona and Miles on a plane that crashes and leaves them stranded on an unknown island. The second chapter takes a reader back to before they got on the plane and gives more into the how and why they are together. From then on it alternates the story here and there.
I know this book is not going to be for everyone but if you like a fast paced adventure with a bit of romance you may want to give it a try. The one thing that I see folks not liking is the ending, it’s a bit open ended to where you can see it either continuing or leaves a lot to your own imagination. I’d actually be fine either way as this one was one heck of a ride to get there as it messes with your mind more than a lot of psychological thrillers out there and I loved that so I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
Thrilling with a lot of hidden little twists. Huge page turner. I can't even form cohesive thoughts by this point so I'll have to go back to it later.
What a roller coaster of a ride this story was! So much suspense, mystery and never ending twists and turns. This was a fast and fun read that I could not put down! Please let there be a sequel!
Great,suspenseful and impossible to put down. This tangled story of two teenagers being sold and used in some sort of test, kept me intereste . Still not sure if the truth and hope to read the next adventure to find out.
The plot is the bigger character in this book. Fiona is too whiny/ambivalent for my liking, while miles tended to grow on me. I do have a beef. If it took seven years for the author to write this book, it's really unfair to leave readers hanging at the end.
