4 Masques, ooops I mean STARS!
Excellent read! Because I find it hard to connect with young characters, I generally don't read much YA. This book, however, had an intelligent protagonist, a vividly disturbing world, creative plot twists, and a smoothe flowing writing style. The world building was quite interesting because it was simply done, yet still managed to be impactive and boldly imaginative. Though, there was sort of a love triangle, there was NOT much (if any) brooding or angst. This helped lend the young character maturity and depth. I could go on and on about how unqiue and wonderfully twisted the story was. But, I'll end with this: If your intrigued by porcelain masques, religious zealots, crazed scientists, a pompous prince, debouchery, fabulous corsets, and plenty of bloody carnage try Masque of the Red Death you won't be disappointed!
I'm definitly looking forward to book 2: Dance of the Red Death
