Status Updates From Light & Dark: The Awakening...

It's pretty okay. :)

For this to be directed towards middle-schoolers, this book is fantastically written. I love that the sentence structure is complex and the diction is more challenging towards readers of that age group. That's how it needs to be.

Now that I've finally graduated from college, I'm going to attempt to read this review book again. I'm looking forward to gaining back control of my time. Life has simply been hard.

The exposition in this book takes a very interesting stance. First off, it starts off with a kid, who is in eighth grade, waking up on the first day of school with his mom waking him up. For most, this is very relatable, but I am different from most people, so this doesn't really pull me in that much. He then gets to school and has a nromal time until the third-to-last period. It takes a little too long for my taste.

This book is actually pretty good. I'm trying to put myself in the mindset of a middle schooler, and it's making the experience more exciting.

Whoa. Didn't see that one coming. O.o I wouldn't say it was a gamechanger, but I would say it improved the story quite a bit.

Syndil's giving me a weird vibe too. Just by the way.

The writing's not great, but the plot's interesting. The island on which the White Rock Academy is built, which pretty much embodies the entire World of Light, is very well-thought out. The world-building is great, is what I'm trying to say. One last thing: let. Me. Guess. Alonso goes bad. This isn't a spoiler; I'm just calling all the foreshadowing as I see it.
