Review of My Fearful Symmetry (Immortyl Revolution #3)
by Denise Verrico
Goodreads Blurb
A boy becomes a vampire and fights to become a man. Only the most gifted and beautiful Immortyls are chosen to serve Mother Kali as adepts of the ancient arts...
For nineteen-year-old Cedric MacKinnon, the promise of eternal youth and celebrity sounds like a dream come true. It becomes a nightmare when a master vampire plucks the boy from the London streets and spirits him away to India. In the fabled ashram of the adepts of the ancient arts, Cedric undergoes the grueling process of training as a temple dancer and courtesan.
With the threat of revolution hanging over court, the chief elder employs the boy he names Shardul in dangerous games of seduction and intrigue. Hated by the chief's mistress and abused by those he entertains, Cedric struggles with visions of a violent destiny that seem to come from Kali herself. The stakes are heightened when the rebel leader, Loki, is brought to India for trial and Cedric is forced to choose between the protection and patronage of a powerful elder and his love for a beautiful female adept.

My Short Review
If you looking for a light vampire book to read this is not it. This book has lots of amazing depth to it. It is a original and unique take on the Immortyl creatures as seen by Cedric. Cedric is a character you can't help but feel sorry for him.A must read for a anyone looking for a different world and take on vampires.

Hi! :)
ReplyDeleteTwo things.
1) Awesome review! :D
and
2) May I have your email address? I'm the advocate for Finnick in the YA Crush Tourney and since Tiffany is the advocate for Gale, I figured Brenna (advocate for Peeta) and all of us should form an alliance (get it? Get it?) and unify the HG awesomeness! :D
