Goodreads : Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice.
But just as life is returning to normal, Laurel discovers that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail.
My review : Wild is the third book in the Wings series by Aprilynne Pike. It's the UK title, the US title is Illusions. If you haven't read the first two books don't read my review, there might be spoiler !
I'll admit it I love this series and I loved reading this third book but the plot was not so great ! This book focus a lot about romance and about the love triangle between Tamani, Laurel and David. It's good because I like the romance between those 3 but I also hoped there might be a lot more development in the plot...
I was disappointed because we don't see Avalon that much in this one, and I loved learning more about it in Spells the second book but now Tamani is in the real world with Laurel, he even is in her school !!! And that was SO great !
But yeah the plot is not that great... There is still questions unanswered about Klea, the trolls but there isn't very much actions like in the other two books.
There is also a lot of things about Laurel experiments and let's just say that I didn't understand everything -_- (yeah i'm not a physics nerd).
There is this new character Yuki and she annoyed me... She is just useless in this book and even if I know Tamani kind of "date" her to use her, I don't want him to have any feelings for her and I don't like how close he was getting to her -_-... But at the end I was curious when I discovered... well you'll see cause it's a big spoiler. Let's just say the end is a huge cliffanger that I didn't see coming and I wanted to know more about her after that. I think the fourth book will be interresting... (there is also this unseelie thing going on that might be interresting in the next book too!).
Anyway, the book is mostly about Lauren. She is confused and can't choose between Tamani and David. As you might now i'm totally Team Tamani ! I can't even understand how people can like David... Ok he is a great guy but... yeah he is just... nice. And their couple is just chessy ! But... TAMANI :D I was so happy to see him again in this book, and he is here a LOT ! I love him so much (Tamani POV rocks!). The plot evolved around those three and it's mostly about Laurel whining about how she loves Tamani and also loves David... And it was just too much sometimes. I mean she is 17 but acts like a little girl... I was frustrated because my choice is already made because T and D... You can think after reading all this that I didn't really this book, so why did I gave it 5 stars?
I don't know... I just loved it :D. Ok mostly because of Tamani... And the thing that I was waiting for to happen finally happenned and I was SO happy. (p283 and the pages that follow in the UK edition = Marie is crazy, excited, happy ect...).
Great job Aprilynne Pike i'm still hooked to your series (and in love with your character Tamani but it's not the point) and I can't wait to read the next and final book (next year? really :(). But I warn you if Laurel and Tamani didn't get together at then end I'll be REALLY angry !!!
EDIT : Oooooh and I completly forgot to say something in my review !!! In this book Tamani is talking about the arthurian legend !!!! You know King Arthur, Guenievre, Lancelot... And I'm just obsessed with King Arthur legend and arthurian literature. This book couldn't be any better after that ;).

Ordered =) ! I can't wait to receive it ..
ReplyDeletePour le moment Tamani ne me dérange pas, je peux être team David et bien aimer Tamani ^^
ReplyDeleteMais on se retrouve avec le même pb que nos habituels couples vampire/humain, y'en a un qui va vieillir et mourir bien avant l'autre... bouhouh... J'aime bien comment Aprilynne Pike nous fait tourner en rond, nous suggère des choses qui nous font penser que Laurel va réfléchir et changer d'avis, nous présenter une substitution à Laurel pour David ou pour Tam... Mmm...
I can't even understand how people can like David = et moi c'est le contraire ! Tamani est trop insistant et fait passer ses sentiments avant ceux de Laurel. Franchement il est parfois ingrat... bref nous n'allons pas repartir en débat xD
ReplyDeleteJ'ai vraiment hâte de lire ce roman même si je le redoute un peu pour mes nerfs ^^ Et j'ai hâte de voir Tamani au lycée xD
Bon, il est peut etre temps que je m'offre Wings !
ReplyDeleteI liked Illusions but Spells (which is the second book, sorry don't know what the title is in the UK) is still my favorite of the series so far. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
