Take only what can be used. Take only what won’t be
missed. The Creators are watching all of us. White Frost lives in a world
cloaked in darkness and ignorance. While most people in her society are content
to live in fearful peace, White’s cousin brings her words from the mysterious
Unknown. Strange collections of written words that tease her that there may be
more to the world than candlelight and dank hallways. But when tragedy strikes,
White can no longer rely on the words to give her solace. She must discover
what lies beyond the only world she’s ever known… no matter the cost.
Eventually, White finds her way to the skies and there she discovers that the
tantalizing clues of her words are only pale reflections of the massive and
wondrous world above. Colors she never thought possible. Blinding light. And an
impossible being who may or may not be the Creator of it all. But this
information comes at a price White Frost is not sure she can pay. White’s
hunger for knowledge proves to be her greatest strength and weakness as she
strives to learn more. But as she learns, she has to wonder – is there such a
thing as too much information? And what will happen as it brings her closer to
a being who could destroy everything she’s ever known? Find out in Five Seven
Five, the first book in a two part series entitled The Boy with Words.
*I
received digital copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest
review*
This is my first encounter with
the work of C.E. Wilson and I was blown away. I was sucked in the world with
the first page. The author created this fantasy/dystopian world where the rules
are strict and if you break them you’ll have consequences. Only handful of
lucky ones called Chosen Ones are permitted to go outside and visit the Unknown.
Our heroine is 19 years old White Frost whose
cousin Shade is one of the lucky ones to be a Chosen One (or is he really a
lucky one?). Every time Shade comes back from the Unknown he brings her a
mysterious collection of words which makes her even more impatient of her
coming of age. (26 is when you have a possibility to become a Chosen One). But
when tragedy strikes her life something in her snaps and she is ready to
disobey rules.
I like White as a character. She
is curios and driven but at the same time she is alert. She is not typical dystopian
main character. Before she does some irrational she will think about her moves.
Sometimes she’s scared but who can blame her. White is a strong character, very
easy to relate.
Book was very easy to read and
the flow was perfect. Not to fast or too slow. I didn’t feel that the ending
was rushed. Wilson’s writing is so beautiful and you can see that she has
experience in writing. She builds her characters and worlds so eloquently and
so beautiful that you can think that is easy to be a writer. I was completely
blown away and I’ve read it once more to write not just an honest review but a
review worthy of this book. I just hope that I came close to that.
I gave this book 5 stars without
thinking but there is this tiny bit thing with this book –ending or cliffhanger
whatever you want to call it. Why????? Why did you do this to me? I need a
sequel like now.
Ok, back on track – you need to
read this because it has everything: drama, action, adventure, a hint of
romance. Overall you won’t be disappointed.
And if you’re waiting the answer
to the question why is book called Five Seven Five. Well what to say? Yes I
know – read it and you will find out :)
Happy reading,
XOXO
