Editorial Review: More Praise for Rise
Looks like Rise continues to cast a spell over you.
In the latest bewitching editorial review, Kelly, the official book reviewer for Family Footnote, writes that "the best parts of the book revolve around 'The Trials' and Alexia's training," and that the "inter-workings of the witching society make for an interesting read ..."
Kelly observes that "fans of the 'Matched Trilogy' by Ally Condie or the famous 'Twilight Series' by Stephenie Meyer will probably enjoy this book."
Our take: any comparisons to the successful Twilight Series is probably a good thing. Here's hoping! You can read Kelly's full review by clicking on the link below.
