I'm ok with it being light on the Scifi aspects and hopefully whenever I read I will enjoy it. Thanks for explaining things, like how it works, cause I didn't feel like I really knew what it was about. <br /><br />I fell behind on your reviews. I'm gonna read them all but my fingers tired of typing on my kindle so I'm not gonna comment unless I have something specific to say...Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-2085196759452355732013-01-03T23:24:42.729-05:002013-01-03T23:24:42.729-05:00I had no idea Level 2 was mostly a contemporary no...I had no idea Level 2 was mostly a contemporary novel, thanks for letting me know, Keertana! The concept for this story definitely sounds unique with it's past and present tense parts. I'm quite sad to hear that the supposed 'unique' part of the novel was the also the dull one. However, hooray for the in-depth characterization! Great character development always saves the day. Even though there were some flaws in this book, I'm thoroughly impressed that a blogger was able to write this intricate novel. I think I'll still be picking this one up soon, thanks for the beautiful review, Keertana!

While I'm not a big contemporary fan, I'm also not a big sci-fi fan so this sounds like it might suit me.Suzanne (Parabooklover)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06393092365013105173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-80614290169658922602013-01-02T20:57:18.885-05:002013-01-02T20:57:18.885-05:00That is really cool that a blogger has gotten publ...That is really cool that a blogger has gotten published and, like you said, who better to get published who is able to have a solid understanding of the publishing and promotion process? I am glad that the characters and story in general worked well for you. As for the sci-fi aspect, that's too bad that you found it to be a little lacking. While I agree that the mischaracterization of the genre would be frustrating, at the end of the day a book needs to contain characters and a story I care about and it sounds like those aspects are good. Maybe your review will reach enough people so that their genre expectations can be altered and they'll be able to enjoy the book from that perspective.

There you go Keertana, it's only day two of the new year and you're already contributing books to my pile because of your gorgeous reviews! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-90664838328386544012013-01-02T17:42:14.126-05:002013-01-02T17:42:14.126-05:00Wow.

I really liked that story so I think I would like to try out Level 2 and see how it compares. I like sci-fi and (usually) love a flawed protagonist, but am a bit worried about the rest...but like you, the fact that a blogger wrote this totally makes me curious to try it out!

I was hoping that she would manage to tread over all the common mistakes in YA books, and although it seems like in some cases she did, she didn't in some other ones.<br /><br />I think with some readjusted expectations, I'd enjoy this one. It definitely seems like the characterization is fantastic, with the main character being extremely realistic and deep.

Maybe it's because I just finished that novel, but with all the flashbacks and such, and a lack of plot, it definitely seems like this is just like If I Stay. <br /><br />Fantastic review as always Keertana! I think I'll still be giving this one a try, but with some adjusted expectations.

I always struggle with unlikable heroines, but if there's some goodness that shines through, than I'm sure I'll manage to form some link to her. <br />I'm very interested in this one, but I'll definitely pick it up with lower expectations.
