A review by ingo_lembcke
The Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Braswell, Celia Thomson
5.0
Started December 3d, 2013.
Easy read, but well written, and believable. YA with a girl just before her 16th birthday and getting more than a mature change.
This being a trilogy, I already finished the first book, The Fallen.
This was made in a TV-Series which I already saw and sadly only lasted one season and is so far not available on DVD nor Blu-ray.
As usual, some things where changed, but the TV-series ended on a cliff-hanger and that was not deserved, they should at least written a closing episode.
Not surprisingly, no sex-scenes so far, but the feelings and relationships feel real and (again) very believable.
Just finished the second part/book, The Stolen. Refreshing ending, but with a dark cliffhanger to make me read the last and third book.
Great developments, Chloe making difficult choices for her future and the future of the Mai and even the Order of the Tenth Blade.
Hope for a peaceful time. The story gives closure, neatly solving all loose ends, while leaving a few things open.
It also shows how much value friends, family and openly speaking the truth instead of having secrets is.
Strong female character, in Chloe as well as Kim and in a lesser degree Amy.
And it is sad that the TV-Series ended so sudden, not filming all of the 3 books.
Highly recommended.
