Well, this was boring. So very very boring. I ended up skimming.
The premise was so interesting. Chinese Lore inspired. People on a mountain and all are deaf.
What I got was the only Chinese thing was the names.
Fei was dull, her lover was dull.
The lead up was long
The climb took a page. I mean come on, no one else tried this?
The resolution was put together really quickly and was just stupid. Oh please. All these people should be dead.
It felt like a series put together into one book. Also one very boring book.
Though considering I have not liked anything else by the author then srsly, what was I expecting? ;)
For as long as Fei can remember, no one in her village has been able to hear. Rocky terrain and frequent avalanches make it impossible to leave the village, so Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom.
When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink. Many go hungry. Fei and all the people she loves are plunged into crisis, with nothing to look forward to but darkness and starvation.
One girl hears a call to action…
Until one night, Fei is awoken by a searing noise. Sound becomes her weapon.
She sets out to uncover what’s happened to her and to fight the dangers threatening her village. A handsome miner with a revolutionary spirit accompanies Fei on her quest, bringing with him new risks and the possibility of romance. They embark on a majestic journey from the peak of their jagged mountain village to the valley of Beiguo, where a startling truth will change their lives forever…
Ugh... sounds like it should have been good and the cover is gorgeous. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteIt was just so FAIL
Deleteseriously right, sorry but I know you have to give an author just one more try sometimes right!
ReplyDeleteAfter this, no more. Only if she writes something adult
DeleteYeah - this sounded so cool but was rather boring.

So interesting premise but come on, you are on top of a mountain that no one has never gone down and it happens in a page?!
DeleteSorry to hear you didn't like it more.
ReplyDeleteBad find
DeleteI remember being very disappointed in this but I don't recall exactly why - maybe that's part of the problem, it was so hokey and forgettable!

SO very forgettable :(
DeleteBoring = skimming - for sure I identify with that, books either grab us or ... go past us!
ReplyDeleteSOme books are just so meh
DeleteUgh- gonna skip this bad boy.
ReplyDeleteYes please do
DeleteOh, bummer. It's been a long time since I've read one of her books, but this doesn't appeal to me. :(
ReplyDeleteI have to stay away from her YA
DeleteBoooo. This had so much promise!
ReplyDeleteIt hate when it falls apart, or well never starts

DeleteI liked this way better than you, but I think I enjoyed it because I listened to it.
ReplyDeleteTo listen is always better
DeleteOh no! I actually enjoyed this book. Sorry it didn't work for you.

DeleteThis does not sound like fun at all. Ms. Mead really hasn't been the same since The Vampire Academy, to be honest. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy her adult books, but dunno how old they were
