Vanish by Sophie Jordan Book Review



Publisher: Harper Teen

Publication Date: September 6, 2011

Pages: 294

Interest: Series (Firelight book 2)

Challenge: none

Synopsis: An impossible romance.
Bitter rivalries.
Deadly choices.
To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?
                      



Vanish is an unbelievable sequel to Firelight. I never thought that it would be a melancholic, heart wrenching, suspense and action pack plot. I never expected the contents of the story except that it would be hard for Jacinda. And maybe Vanish is the darkest and saddest book in the Firelight trilogy.

In this book I’ve seen a better side of Cassian and I could say that he’s not bad like I’ve known him from the first book. And new sets of characters have been introduce that possesses a strong type of personalities just like Miram and Corbin who are very annoying especially Corbin that wrenches my flesh whenever he threatens Jacinda. And Jacinda whom I really admired in Firelight, but then I got a little disappointed with her because she shows weakness, stubbornness and she refuse to fight back and I want the old Jacinda back.

What else I can say, Jordan writes exceptionally. But in comparison with Firelight, I prefer Firelight since its glowing with happy vibes. The climax part just brought back the life in the story and the essence in the plot since it’s filled with action, suspense and a taste of drama which enclosed in a cliff hanger ending that made me crave for the sequel.
