The author does leave many little clues throughout the narrative that show/depict Nellie as being potentially visually challenged (she does not want to join in her brothers' games about who can first see the ocean, she does not fight for a window seat in the car, she is more attuned to the sound of the ocean, the texture of the sand, the caress of a salty sea breeze), but I wonder if a young child would catch all of these clues (I think this is definitely a book that might need to be read more than once). I have to admit that I am a bit taken aback by the fact that one does not get to actually know about Nellie's blindness until the very end of the book.

It's not really about Liv instantly becoming friends with these Londoner Raven Boys, which is unlikely but not impossible - I did a two-day intensive TEFL course in Glasgow a few weeks ago, and after about an hour in a class of 15 students, we were all soul mates. In a way that made me wonder if my copy was missing pages. The problem is that this book just didn't make sense it was like an acid trip, and not in a good way. It's also been brilliantly translated from its original German, which helps. I related to it, which is saying quite a lot. I usually hate this "woe is me, I have too much money and too many opportunities" narrative trend in a lot of YA, but Gier strikes a nice balance between Liv's hermitic loneliness and her easygoing nature. This book was a pretty quick, easy read, and the best thing about it is the narrative voice I loved Liv's character, loved her narration, loved her careful balance between dry and joyful. I thought this book might pull me from my funk, but it was a bust. Now I'm three books behind and bricking it. Until about May, I was never less than 3 books ahead. I've been in a massive reading slump lately, and I've been seriously flagging with my reading challenge, which is disappointing, since I was smashing it for the first half of the year.

The Dokimí proceeds, a dazzling display of majesty and might, until a shocking turn of events interrupts it: an assassin's arrow wounds Isabella. Most of all, she worries about not living up to her mother's hopes. But her nightmare is forgotten the next day as she diligently practices her songspell eagerly anticipates a reunion with her best friend, Neela and anxiously worries about Mahdi, the crown prince of Matali, and whether his feelings toward her and their future betrothal have changed. On the eve of the Dokimí ceremony, which will determine if she is worthy of the crown, Sera is haunted by a strange dream that foretells the return of an ancient evil.

As you can see she likes her self because she is who she is! We are all born with our own uniqueness. She does not care what anybody else says, because she likes herself just the way she is right now. She is happy about the way she looks, even when she looks messy.
