Synopsis
Thrust into a reality that should be myth, Honor does what she has to do to survive. Some things are easy to say goodbye to. Others things, like her very being, are not so easy to let go of. And when she does, what then? What will she become? As Honor fights to remain unaltered when everything around her, including her, has been, she is met with adversaries and champions. Ryder, Christian, Nealon—they all have a goal. Only Honor doesn’t know if their goals coincide with hers, or Superior August’s and the UDK society. One thing she does know: the world isn’t big enough for all of them.
Review
Hope. Defiance. Right vs Wrong. Reaching potential. Losing control. Giving up. Submitting. The second installment of the Anything But…series, Unremarkable, is riddled with good vs bad. It’s filled with people doing what they perceive is the right thing, and yet are thwarted and end up doing the wrong. The relationships between the characters are strained, they are coming to a head, they appear to be self-destructing. The one thing that Honor has learned and kept with her from Isaac, is that she should always do what she knows is right. Her sense of right and wrong are tested, drastically, and you can’t help but feel for her. In the situations that are thrust upon her, it’s hard to imagine her taking different action. Superior August is a mad man, a psycho with a Frankenstein complex and he pushes Honor to extremes. Little by little he strips away everything that has ever meant anything to her, thus leaving a killing machine. Deep down, Honor knows what is right and what is wrong. I’m anxious to see how the good in her and the good in all the characters will prevail and rise up against the villain, Superior August.
This book has you preparing for war. The rise of the ‘lesser’ beings, both the UDs and UDKs promises to be an eventful one. More stand-up characters are introduced, thus enriching to story even more. The fight for right is so strong, it tears at your heart, making you want to strangle the characters into doing your bidding. To me, that’s the mark of a great novel; one that you can picture yourself infiltrating and joining forces with the heroes. This series is so much fun. It is different to what I’m used to reading, however not so different from what I am used to watching on TV and movies. I love villain vs hero movies. I love right vs wrong and Lindy has created a world so rich in these unmistakable truths that you feel as though you are living it.
I will say, there are some scenes that will make you scream out in protest and disbelief, but don’t let that stop you! I can’t wait for more Honor and her transformation.
