Unravel by Imogen Howson

4.0

Yay for finishing my first duology of 2016!*applause*

This novel improved on many of the things the first book lacked, such as the world building, the character development, and the romance.

Firstly, Howson's writing style is entrancing. Her descriptions are spot on and they make for great visual inspiration. I could see the action unfolding before my eyes like a movie.

I love the sister relationship between Elissa and Lin. The differences in their personalities compliment each other. The way they interact and depend on each other for emotional support really shows how much they love each other without having to say it. Speaking of Elissa and Lin, Lin's character is explored much more in this novel, which I greatly appreciate.

Also, hurray for the improvement of Caden and Elissa's relationship. This novel redeemed them from the instalove in Linked.

More than anything else, I think this entire duology brings up some pretty deep themes:

What does it mean to be human?
Is our love for others conditional?
Is the law always right?

If you like science fiction, if you like action, and if you like duologies, you've come to the right place. I highly recommend.
