I am at the point where I wish I could just update this blog telepathically. I compose numerous blog posts in my head as I am falling asleep - both about the books I have read and just random posts I should be posting on Beyond Elsewhere. Alas, I am just not around the computer as I am snuggling down into my pillow and drifting off to nightmare land (I don't dream. I epically night terror.) Reading, blogging and many other things are just tiny parts of my life right now. I can't seem to find enough time in the day for everything I want to do. I need to quit my job and become independently wealthy and that might help with my time management issues. ;)SO... Fractured is the sequel to Slated (which I adored). It's out in the UK now but not in North America until the fall (I think). I wasn't as OYMYGOSHBREATHEBREATHE with the sequel as I was the first book, but I did love it to pieces and I am very anxious for the final book which will pub some time in 2014. Gah!I felt like Slated was more sci-fi than dystopian when I read it, but Fractured feels more dystopian to me. You find out more about the world and the slating and the rebellion and revised history and whatnot. It's very conspiracy-ish and I am suspicious of everyone. People die. People vanish. Everyone is spied on. You can't trust anyone in this story and I love that in a book. I don't like knowing instantly who the bad guys are or how things are going to turn out. There were a few plot twists that surprised me as I read and that's what made me cackle with glee as I frantically turned the pages of this novel.It's been a while since a YA novel, especially one that's of a dystopian-slash-paranormal setting, really gripped me. I haven't been all that satisfied by YA novels lately. Everything I read seems so similar but this series managed to ensnare me and has me very excited for the final book to publish in 2014!
