My Take on Kiran Millwood Harris's 'Immortal': A Haunting Tale of Love and Immortality
I stumbled upon Kiran Millwood Harris's work by chance, and I'm glad I did. As a fan of Young Adult fiction, I was excited to dive into her writing and see what all the fuss was about.
The book 'Immortal' is a haunting tale of love and immortality that really resonated with me. I read it in just a few days, and it's still stuck with me.
Genre - Young Adult, Mystery, Coming-of-Age.
The book's formatting is stunning - beautifully done, even by today's standards. The cover design is eye-catching, and the interior design is just as impressive. The use of Roman numerals and forest motifs adds a touch of elegance to the book's overall design.
The plot revolves around two teenage sisters, Lil and Kizzy, who are travelers with a hint of Romani culture. They're meant to get their fortunes read on their 17th birthday to understand their future, but the girls and other kids are kidnapped, taken to a noble's court, and sold to Dracula, a figure they've heard of and fear.
The book's pace is moderate - not too fast, not too slow. I was hooked from the start, eager to find out what would happen next. While there aren't many unexpected twists, the story still managed to keep me engaged.
When it comes to composition, the book is divided into chapters with Roman numerals and beautiful formatting that matches the cover design. The use of forest motifs adds a touch of whimsy to the book's overall design.
I appreciated the slow pacing, which added to the overall atmosphere of the story. It's not too slow to be annoying, but just slow enough to make you feel like you're right there with the characters.
The characters - especially the main ones, sisters Lil and Kizzy - are well-developed and relatable. The twins differ not only in appearance but also in personality, making them feel like real people.
I love how the author captured the atmosphere of the time period. No modern slang or terms - just perfect period details that transported me to another era.
While the book is dark, it doesn't feel too intense or overwhelming. It's a great read for teenagers, and the themes of love, friendship, and moral choice are timeless.
I have to admit, I wasn't blown away by the story, but it's still a solid read. Maybe it just wasn't my thing, or the author didn't quite hit the mark, but there was something missing for me.
One thing that stood out to me was the author's use of language. The writing is descriptive and immersive, making it easy to visualize the world and characters. However, at times, the descriptions felt a bit too detailed, which made the pacing feel slightly slower.
Another aspect that I appreciated was the exploration of themes. The book touches on some heavy topics, such as immortality, morality, and the consequences of one's actions. These themes are woven throughout the story, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
Overall, I would recommend 'Immortal' to fans of Young Adult fiction, particularly those who enjoy mystery and coming-of-age stories. While it may not be a standout in the genre, it's still a solid read that will keep you engaged and invested in the characters and their journey.
However, if you're looking for a more fast-paced or action-packed story, you may want to look elsewhere. The book's slow pace and lack of unexpected twists may not be to everyone's taste.
Despite my mixed feelings, I'm glad I read 'Immortal'. It's a thought-provoking and immersive story that will appeal to fans of the genre. If you're a fan of Young Adult fiction, I would definitely give it a try.
