Information sur l'oeuvreEchoes of Balance (The Ways Trilogy, #1) par Cally Ryanne
Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  jane.hunt.509511 | Nov 18, 2014 |   Echoes of Balance is a refreshing Young Adult Paranormal novel. I enjoyed the characters in this book; they are mysterious. It is hard to predict who the good guys are versus the bad guys. Their morals are shades of grey instead of black and white. This makes the story unpredictable. It is not obvious who Chloe can trust. If you enjoy books that have: vampires, Naimei, demons; High school drama; and an evil plot to take over the world, this book is for you. The story concludes with a cliff hanger, so I am anxiously awaiting the second book in The Ways Trilogy. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

For Chloe Moraine, fighting wild bears- and the occasional vampire- is a better pastime than the tediousness of keeping the universe in balance. But balancing is the family business. It comes with being one of the last in the ancient line of Naimei. So when the impending return of the Original Demons threatens global harmony, Chloe is obligated to help. Even when that means the dull-as-dirt task of following a human girl who "might be involved, maybe," instead of the thrilling hunt she craves. With their powerful magic and ancient Ways, Chloe's family is unconcerned, certain they'll quickly fix the imbalance while she's preoccupied with human high school. But when the Ways start to fail, the threat becomes more serious, and the only person that seems to know anything is a debonair vampire with an offer to help. If Chloe chooses to trust him, and the darker side of the supernatural he represents, she'll betray her family and risk losing them, and herself, in the process. But if he's right, he may just be their only chance to stop the return of the Originals and save the world. Maybe high school won't be so boring after all.

Echoes of Balance' is a young adult novel and its fast-paced,simple writing style should appeal to readers of that genre.
Chloe is a supernatural being who doesn't age and exists to work towards achieving a perfect balance in the natural world. Part of a dynasty of similar creatures, the Naimei exists to maintain the balance between nature and nurture.
The high school setting relies on the precedent of successful paranormal series that have preceded Echoes of Balance but it does bring a unique twist.
For me the story lacked the necessary world building I require in fantasy/paranormal stories and because of this I found it difficult to connect with the characters that seemed a little stereotypical.
Other young adult stories I have read gave me this and I connected with the characters even though it is back in the mists of time since I was a young adult.
I like the concept of 'The Ways' and look forward to more insight into its workings as the series progresses.
I received an ARC from the publisher in return for an honest review,
