Can a young rock star become a successful spy?
Marie Lu weaves an intricate tale in this young adult book about a world-famous musician. She brings her reader a story of intrigue that is filled with heart stopping moments. There is forbidden romance, self-reflection, and true friendship.
This book is classified as young adult since the main characters fit into that age range. But, in my opinion, if they were not described as older teens, then they could really have been any age – a feature that should make this book popular also among readers outside of that age frame. There are, however, references to sexuality, drugs, and other potentially sensitive topics.
I will admit that it took me a chapter or two to really start enjoying this book, but once I reached that point, well, I was completely hooked and found myself quickly turning the pages. Characters are well developed and settings are carefully constructed so that you feel a part of the story. But don’t think you have everything figured out as you are likely to be surprised at the end.
