Realms Review: 'Extraordinary'

Yesterday, we just finished reading Nancy Werlin's incredible storytelling in Extraordinary. For those of you who love tales of the realm of Faerie, read on. You won't be disappointed by the intricate the plot and twist at the end of this beautifully written story.
          The story follows the fate of two best friends, Phoebe and Mallory, and takes place in Boston, MA. Except, Mallory's not exactly human. She's a faerie sent to the human world on a mission and that mission involves preparing Phoebe for an ominous something. Then, when Mallory's brother, Ryland, arrives out of the blue, their friendship is tested. For Phoebe, the answers to her problems lies at the heart of one question: what does it mean to be extraordinary?
          We at Realms would like to give Extraordinary 3.5 out of 5 stars. Now that seems low, but hear us out. Personally, we were not fans of the writing itself. It was slow at times, despite being lovely language, and this is the only reason we rate it why we do. The plot was phenomenal, the hook was enticing, and just when you think you've predicted the ending, Werlin flips the story on its head.
           If you love reading for the sake of the story, we recommend Extraordinary. However, if you're into "juicier" writing, then you may want to pass on this one. We leave the choice up to you!
