Unmade

By Sarah Rees Brennan

Book Overview

New York Times bestselling author Sarah Rees Brennan brings the Lynburn Legacy--her modern, magical twist on the Gothic romance and girl-detective genres--to a surprising and satisfying conclusion. Perfect for fans of the Beautiful Creatures and the Mortal Instruments series. Who will be the sacrifice? Kami is linked to two boys. One through a strong magical bond, and the other through unforgettable love. With Jared missing for months and presumed dead, Kami must rely on her link with Ash for the strength to face the evil spreading through her town. Working with her friends, Kami uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with knowledge comes responsibility--and a painful choice. A choice that will risk not only Kami's life, but also the lives of those she loves most. As coauthor with Cassandra Clare of the bestselling Bane Chronicles, Sarah Rees Brennan has mastered the art of the page-turner. A strong example of diversity in YA, the Lynburn Legacy not only introduces Kami Glass, a half-Japanese teen, but also includes an LGBTQ romance as one of the subplots. "A sparkling fantasy that will make you laugh and break your heart." -- Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author "A darkly funny, deliciously thrilling Gothic." -- Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author "Readers will laugh, shiver, and maybe even swoon over this modern Gothic novel." -- Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author "Breathtaking--a compulsive, rocketing read." -- Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author "Captures the reader with true magic."-- Esther Friesner, author of Deception's Princess "A laugh-out-loud delight." -- Publishers Weekly

Customer Reviews

the dialogue makes this series

I love Sarah Rees Brennan. Why? Because of the beautiful characters and relationships she writes. That makes or breaks every single book for me. The plot could be awful and unbelievable and I'll read it forever for those characters. So 5 stars for faceted and interesting characters! But it has to be 3 stars overall, because the plot never really jived with me. There was a lot of flowery language that didn't fully explain the situation, and I also felt things got a bit repetitive throughout the whole series. I was also constantly confused about why these heroes even had a chance. It appeared that the villain was of the dumbest and egotistical sort, because he could have done away with the whole town in book one and then what would we have? Instead he kept fumbling around, being awful but never quite *too* awful. Also, the dialogue is A+! I love Brennan's quick wit, and this was showed off beautifully. I was constantly giggling over hilarious rebuttals from the women in the story. Read this series for the dialogue, if nothing else!
