"if I were facing a monster, I could run, I could hide. But I can never get away from myself." Wow. 😯 that would be my one word review of Refraction 🙈 Initially, I felt like the book started a little slower than I'd like focusing on character building instead of plot progression (TRUST ME THIS IS NEEDED AND NOT A BAD THING OVERALL) but once the action kicks off HOLY SHIT ARE YOU IN FOR A RIDE 🤗 Its a really well written and nicely paced storyline with characters that are realistic and relateable despite the subject matter of the book 💪it's also wonderful to read about such complex characters with some great representation that have to learn to embrace the power of their inner strength even if that means truly accepting themselves, trauma, flaws and all ❤ I don't want to give away too much of the plot twists and details in case I spoil anything so I've put the publishers blurb below because it was enough to get me to want to read but still left room for a lot of the wonder and potential of the book to unfold: "After an attack on earth, all reflective surfaces become weapons to release monsters, causing a planet-wide ban on mirrors. Despite the danger, the demand rises, and 17-year-old Marty Callahan becomes a distributor in an illegal mirror trade—until he’s caught by the mayor's son, whose slate is far from clean. Both of them are exiled for their crimes to one of the many abandoned cities overrun by fog. But they soon realize their thoughts influence their surroundings and their deepest fears begin to manifest." Really, I loved this book. I truly love it. The plot is well paced and got some great twists. The characters are easy to root for despite DEFINITELY not being black or white/good or evil, and there is some fantastic representation and universal messages underneath a great book that a lot of people could enjoy and benefit from 😊 #refraction #naomihughes #pagestreetpublishing #NetGalley #reading #books #bookish #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #newbook #newrelease #yabooks #yalit #scifi #sciencefiction #scifibooks #aliens #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #mentalhealth #ebook #bookishart #waroftheworlds #strangerinastrangelan (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gTZjCA07f/?igshid=cmqfhsivmjl5

Follow the blog tour here: https://fantasticflyingbookclub.blogspot.com/2019/10/bookstagram-schedule-refraction-by.html?m=1 • • This book reminded me why I love sci-fi. Refraction weaves a nightmarish tale of a post-attack Earth where mirrors release monsters leading to a ban on all reflective surfaces. This book is so unique and original and it has an OCD-rep.
