Provex City

I'm going to admit straight out that when I first started Provex City I was utterly confused. This book somehow manages to have a fantasy/sci fi feel while still walking in the contemporary genre. It's odd at first. Still, the more I read, the deeper I was pulled in. It was amazing.

As a very character driven reader, I really appreciated Pierce's writing style. Oliver is the main character and he is so beautifully built, so wholly fleshed out, that it's hard not to like him. His life is what you'd expect a normal teenage boy's to be. Family, friends, and of course girl problems. That is, until he finds out just how extraordinary he really is.

Which brings me to the one area I had a bit if issue with. Although I totally understand the need to suspend disbelief in a story like this, I still had so many unanswered questions after finishing. I would love to know more about Oliver's ability and definitely about the other world! Here's hoping for another book so I can sate my curiousity.

Despite any small issues I may have had though, Provex City ultimately ended as an enjoyable read for me. A bit of magic and a touch of romance, this kept me immersed. I definitely recommend you give it a shot.
