REVIEW
In Wild Bells To The Wild Sky we follow or Main Characters Lily Christian and Valentine Whitelaw(also know as Valen) . This book had a slow start however when we get to the part where valentine rescues Lily this is where the wheels started to turn in this book.
In this book we got a lot of backstory about many different character and because of that you were able to get a clear picture of what was going on in this book .We also got to understand are main character Lily and Valen a lot better due to the attention Laurie McBain paid to backstory .We got to understand perfectly what motivated them and what shaped them as individual . Seeing Lily and Valen relationship evolve into what it becomes at the end of the book was very interesting I was very happy with were we left them at the end of this book.
When it comes to the time period it was set in I found that Laurie Mcbain did this book justice We got to see an in depth look at what life was like in this time period .You really become immersed in the setting. Laurie Mcbain descriptions of each place gave me such a vivid picture in my head of what each place we visited in the book look liked, it almost felt like you were there lol.
Wild Bells to the Wild Sky come out on march 15,2016. If you like you books with all the things I have described above I suggest you get a copy.
