3 Stars/5
Echo is a runaway pickpocket,
who is far from normal, her adoptive family are Avicen, a race of people with
feathers and magic. When the centuries old war between the Avicen and the
Drakharin hits too close to home, Echo decides it is time to act. Legend is
that the way to end the conflict is for someone to find the Firebird, an entity
with enormous powers. In the search for the Firebird, Echo will have to work
with someone she would have never imagined.
The Girl at Midnight is an
enjoyable and fun paranormal novel, with interesting creatures, action,
adventure and romance. However, it was predictable and it is very similar to
two books I have read. The first book is Daughter of Smoke and Bone as the
story was very similar and the second book is Aquila by T L
Searle as they both have half bird/human and half dragon/human at war with each
other.
Echo is feisty, competent and loyal, and is a very likeable
character. There are lots of characters in this book and my favourite is Ivy as
she was so nice and kind and Jasper who is a flirt. However, I was not a fan of
the love triangle in this book, as I hardly ever like them.
While this book had it faults I still want to read the next
book and see what happens next. I would recommend The Girl at Midnight to fans
of YA paranormal novels.
