Fate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Of course, this is the sequel to Tattoo. The writing has improved from the first book marginally, and the super juvenile voice has been toned down a bit in few places but it's very in-your-face and super annoying in lots of others. I thought the large amount of recapping in the beginning of the book could've been cut out because why waste pages when you can move into the story that much faster?

The story was still pretty shallow but it did make an attempt to be a lot more complex. I actually found the plot about who the mysterious voices, what the Otherworld fairies, and the whole connecting them with Greek mythology intriguing. Well, enough so that I stayed up in the morning getting through a pretty thick portion of the book in one go.

I can't tell you how irritated I got with the main character, Bailey. Sometimes she was just so dense and stupid that I just wanted to slap a nice, fat telephone book at her (because those hurt!). Not to mention the only real reason she developed crushes on any of the guys she liked was because they were cute/hot/good looking?! Could we be anymore superficial? Zo, Delia, and Annabelle were such blatant teenage stereotypes you can't spin it any other way. Having Annabelle be the "super smart/genius girl" who's also super pretty was just way too convenient. Yes, she's also the one who finds out and solves all the riddles and problems the characters encounter throughout the story.

The ending absolutely annoyed me beyond belief. It's not bad for it to have a happy ending but now all of them get superpowers too?! NO. I mean, what's so bad with them being happy they were alive and having a special bond through the Sidhe Courts which ensured would always have their friendship? Seriously? I would have been perfectly fine with that. But in the end everyone was turned into some super sparkly (I exaggerate but there was a scene where the fairy guy had sparkling skin written about!), uber powerful Mary Sue that I'm totally not going to dig ever.

I know this sounds like a super scathing review but this is how strongly I felt about it. There were cool things about this book that I enjoyed despite my overly critical nature. I love Morgan in this book (as I did in the previous book), she was just super cool. One of those powerful, mysterious faeries that always gives the quartet the coolest gifts. Not to mention the advice she hands out is not the blatant info-drop stuff that Annabelle does. Bailey as the third fate was actually kinda neat and I loved reading about her adventures in the Otherworld and how she worked during her mystical job. Highlights of the book I'm sure.

Okay, so her writing's better and the plot was actually a lot better crafted than the previous one. It's fast and simple that doesn't require a lot of though but it would have gotten a way, way better grade if there was no superpowers-inherited-yay ending.

Product Description:
For the past two years, Bailey Morgan has lived a double life: high school student by day, ancient mystical being by night. As the third Fate, Bailey literally controls the fate of the world, but as Plain Old Bailey, her life is falling apart. She's got a tattoo that was supposed to be temporary (but isn't), friendships that were supposed to last forever (but might not), and no idea what her future holds after high school graduation.

Then Bailey meets the rest of the Sidhe, an ancient race defined by their power, beauty, and a sinister habit of getting what they want at any cost. Before Bailey knows it, she's being drawn into an otherworldly web more complicated than anything she weaves as a mortal Fate.
