Synopsis:
Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava — in all other ways a normal girl — is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava’s quest and her family’s saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.
I can honestly say that I have never read a book like this one before. It is extremely unique! While it was interesting, I was bored and found it hard to pay attention.
The author does not even begin to talk about the main character until about halfway through the book. The synopsis as well as the prologue of the book make it seem as if Ava has spent years trying to figure out why she is different. In reality, the book focuses on her family tree until we finally hear about her actual life later on.
This book was just okay for me. It wasn't exactly what I expected and was slow paced. If you are looking for a unique book that doesn't really have anything happen until the last 50 pages then this book is for you.
