I really wasnt planning on reading Wings today, but only because I didnt have the second book in the series yet. And if youve read any of my other book reviews you know I generally wait till Ive got 3 or 4 of the books in a series before I start it. However, I made the mistake of glancing at the first couple of pages. First thing I knew about an hour had past and I was well beyond the point where I could stop. I had heard this book compared to Twilight and Meyer had a nice little blurb on the cover, A Remarkable Debut. Boy was everyone right on the money. This book was so refreshing and though I heard it mentioned that it started slow, I didnt think so. I can see why others have compared it to Twilight as it left me with a feeling of total satisfaction when I finished it (gleefully knowing that there were to be 4 books in this series). While Id have loved it to have been the length of Twilight, I have the satisfaction of knowing that book 2, Spells, is on its way to me as we speak and Illusions is due out May of 2011. Pikes modern mythology of faeries was fascinating and a joy to watch unfold. I do hope we find out more about the faeries history as the next book unfolds but again the characters, the world building and the action within the story was an awesome thing to behold.
