samanthabryant's review against another edition
5.0
This is a hard book to review because talking too much about it will spoil it for another reader. I'll try to be general in my comments because of that and not give away any twists. It's a heartbreaker.
This story captures a lot of what I remember about high school experience as a geeky young woman, and what I'm seeing as an adult who works in schools. The main character, Trina, is engaging and realistic, neither overpowered nor helpless. She feels like a lot of kids I've taught and known.
The fantasy elements were tense and the descriptions of monsters and dangers were suspenseful. Trina's fear hit me viscerally as I read and experienced alongside her. So did her strength and bravery. The book has a lot to say about the nature of courage and how often what saves us is not something special or highly individual (like being a "chosen one"), but ordinary perseverance and determination.

Impervious is a book that grips from the start making it very difficult to put down. You cannot help but read it one or two sittings. It has all things you want in a book a bit of mystery, fantasy. A book that does not disappoint and you will not regret reading it.

I was really enjoying a great fantasy read with an abundance of pop culture references. Then the book took a surprising turn and I was left feeling a little confused and almost let down....let down by real life. Had I known real life was what I would find I think I would have enjoyed it much more.

This book was an extremely interesting take on the fantasy world as we know it.
Trina is an average high school student, that is until her life is turned upside down by the appearance of magical figures in her life.
Strap yourself in because this book takes you on an incredible ride that leaves you on the edge of your seat, eagerly wanting to find out what will happen next!
I also loved the abundance of references to pop culture, as well as the way the different characters interact in the book - at the start it most definitely adds to the mystery.
The only reason this book gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that I found something slightly off kilter with the writing style in some parts. However, as a fantastical mystery I would most definitely recommend it!
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for a digital copy of the first two chapters of this book in exchange for an honest review.
