Soleil is a Smudge. A human who is only allowed to leave her home during the night. D'Arcy is a privileged Ray with national honors and on his way to becoming a doctor. They never should have met, but when Sol hatches a plan to kidnap her niece from the hospital, she and D'Arcy discover not only might they have a future, but they also have a past.
This book got a lot of hype, and with a cover like that, how could it not? But I will admit to mixed feelings about this book. The plot is a bit slow, and for the majority of the book there just isn't enough excitement to really hook me.
Sol is funny in her own way but she seemed kind of shallow to me. Not her character, because she was intended to be this really sweet, deep person, but for some reason her actions just came off as hollow to me. This made it difficult to really connect with her.
Sol and D'Arcy's relationship has zero chemistry, and so I couldn't get invested in that part of the story either. Some of the things they said were really cute and all, but I'm sorry, I just didn't feel like there was anything there.
The writing was fantastic. Fama is clearly extremely well educated, because her writing is languid and smooth with words that I've heard, but rarely read in a young adult novel. It's fitting that Marissa Meyer would be featured on the cover because their writing styles are very similar.
All in all it wasn't a bad book, but it didn't really hook me either. I just read it because I needed to finish it before it become overdue at my library, and I'd already promised to review it! It's not super emotional, so if you're feeling a little down, or your emotions feel bottled due to other high-stress books (like me right now) this is a nice relaxing book with some very interesting ideas.
I'm not sure if I'll be pursuing the series, but I guess I'll decide when the second book comes out.
