The Lost Girl-A review

Lost Girl

There’s nothing better than a story rich with fantasy, humor and wit that is captivating to the point that I was struggling to keep my eyes from blinking for the thirst to know what happens next could not be quenched, for every word was bringing me closer to the end. Oh the thought of the end! I was weeping by the time I finished, wanting more and then I find out there’s no sequel to the book that has a very distinct cliffhanger. I am going to sidetrack here a bit to mention I DETEST CLIFFHANGERS, DETEST THEM! –Back to the agony I felt at not being able to find the sequel to one of the most AMAZING books I have read in all time;(I actually tweeted Sangu Mandanna to which she promptly  but vaguely replied its out of her hands!—Ikr) Anyway I was planning on talking about the story and not whining about it.
The book starts off with the introduction of this witty character who happens to be a man-made living human (very Frankenstein type) Nothing at all distinguishes them from humans save for a tattoo of sorts on the back of the neck –which now I think about is basically branding- so she was branded like cattle to mark her difference.  We find as and well we go about the story that this character is funny, dorky and very lovable and we justifiably feel sorry for her being asked to imitate and learn everything the other familiar does. What I like most about this story is how Eva manages and handles every horrible thing the world throws at her. She does not whine away like most of the female characters I have been reading about (frown face) and faces it headstrong. I cannot emphasize enough how tragic it is that every single person on this planet has NOT read it.—Please Do.

The concept I feel although is very bizarre and takes time getting used to-but the story more than makes up for it, even the mundane writing-sorry I had to mention that.

5 Stars!
