We start off this book by meeting Bea who we learn is different. Bea is a Seer and that makes her special as you see Bea has visions of the future. It was really cool to be reading a book in which the heroine was more than just a strong character and with being having visions it made her different from heroines in most books out there. I loved that Bea was also so head strong and didn't just trust everything that her higher ups told her. She still thought for herself and questioned their motives which is what I like to see in my characters. I like them to be independent thinkers and not just taken along for a ride.

The world building in this story was out of this world amazing. I loved that the author painted such vivid pictures of the Institution where Bea lived and the outside world. I loved the sharp differences she showed between the two and how really different and unique they both were.It was so fun to see Bea's reactions to the outside world on the few occasions she left the Institution. It was also awesome to see the Dreamcatchers world through the dreams Bea would have about that world. I have to say that early on I had an immediate distrust for The Keeper. She just struck me as a one of those people I would come to hate as I went deeper into the story.

I have to say that I was torn between the two male leads in this story. I immediately bonded with Gabe as I could see how much he cared for Bea and was there for her. He would do anything to keep her safe but he also wanted to follow the straight and narrow path too much for my taste which is what made me like Echo more. Echo had the whole bad boy vibe going for him but I couldn't fully trust him since I knew he was a Dreamcatcher and Bea was raised to distrust them as they were painted as the bad guys. It will be interesting to see who Bea ends up with as she will have some hard choices to make later on. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes as she will have a lot fall on her shoulders.

Overall this book was a great read. It has a lot of action,great world building and some great characters. The book also created a kind of dystopian setting for me too with the way that the humans had to depend on the Seers to keep them safe. It was also amazing to see Bea continue to progress and become way more head strong. I loved the love triangle created in this story and that is saying a lot because I normally hate that in books but this one was so believable because I could see Bea not being able to make that choice. I would highly encourage readers to check out this book for something different but in a a truly great way.

I received this book from the publisher for reveiew for the blog tour but it in no way infulenced my review.(less)

This book definitely goes by an idea that we don't see everyday. By the look of the includtion of dreams and visions, this book could be wrongly judged because I really didn't expect what I found. Honestly, the idea of falling in love with enemy was what kinda - kinda - sold it out to me but then this book also seemed to me as a semi-dystopian future novel - it sort of has the same layout as the dystopian future novels - which was interesting but it needed more than that.

In her dreams, she meets Echo, a beautiful guy who is wearing the clothes of her enemy. Echo is one of the Dreamcatchers, people with ability to shatter another person’s mind with their touch. Echo is her enemy, yet Beatrice feels strangely attracted to him. Her loyalty starts to waver along with Echo’s constant appearance, and when the Dreamcatchers attack, Beatrice needs to decide what she has to do in order to save her city and the citizens.

To tell you the truth, it’s… painful to finish this book. There are things that bug me a lot when I read this book. I’m very, very confused: why don’t they seem to have war strategies prepared ahead? I’m not asking for strategies on Sun Tzu's level, but I just found it very strange that the seers seem to be very eager to throw their lives away. Why don’t they asses their situation calmly and split themselves into groups, instead of running in a big group and try to kill as many as possible without any strategy prepared? The Keeper, the one who controls the city, doesn’t seem to plan any strategy in order to save her seers. I mean, I know that the seers are disposable, but surely it won’t hurt to keep victims in your side as low as possible, right?

Another thing that I found really strange is the fact that Beatrice’s loyalty is toyed between the Keeper, whom she has practically known all her life, and the man whom she has met only in her dreams. Echo might be gorgeous, yes, but it’s not like I would turn my back against my own team because of the guy whom I only meet in my dreams. What does Echo actually do to make Beatrice believe in him? (Aside from being gorgeous, mind you) I just can’t see myself to betray my own city, my own friends, because of things a mysterious guy said in my dreams. I really wish that Echo had brought more evidences to make Beatrice believe in him.

This book is too bizarre for me to truly enjoy and I’m not a fan of the world-building either, so it took me some time to finish it. I admire Beatrice’s strength though, and I really wished that there were a competition to begin with between Echo and Brandon, Beatrice’s best friend. I like Brandon, it seems like he truly cares for Beatrice. Echo is too vague for me to actually feel anything for him, so I can’t say much about him.

I can’t really recommend Luminosity, but I figure that since many of my friends have read this book and enjoyed it, some of you might as well end up liking it. I might be curious enough to pick the sequel though, because I’m kind of curious to see what will happen to Beatrice, Echo, and Brandon. Hopefully we can see more inside Echo’s head in the sequel, and more background story to enhance the story! :)

I am standing on a bridge, gun cradled under my armpit, combat jumpsuit soiled and stained with the grime of the City. The screams of innocent people reverberate from everywhere around me, and I don’t know which way to run. Everyone needs to be saved, and yet, I cannot save everyone. But somehow, the weight of it is on me, and it’s a heavy, suffocating weight. One I don’t want to carry, never wanted to carry, and yet I must.(less)

She grew up in „The institution“, where young seers are trained and educated. She is very talented and when her visions become darker, even hint towards an upcoming war and she starts dreaming of a stranger, she begins to worry about the future of her world. And lately their training became more and more focused on training their fighting skills using even live ammunition...

The idea of a school for seers sold to me right away, I loved the idea of them guarding the destiny of the people outside the institution, but I would have loved to learn more about their life and the way they grow up.

The world building was great, but I felt like the information was always given to the reader a bit too late. I felt myself wondering and feeling a bit lost a little too often. I also felt like while the world within the institution is very vivid and interesting, the world outside in the city stays nebulous and vague. I especially enjoyed the fresh ideas and the way dystopian and paranormal elements were mixed. The idea seemed very unique to me.

There are two love stories in this (Really? Again??) love triangle, one felt shallow at best, Echo as a love interest never sold to me, the attraction, fascination and trust of Bea towards him is just stated, I never felt it develop or saw the origin. Bea's feelings for Gabe are described nicely... but when she thought of him or was with him, she never seemed to see him as a strong partner, but as someone she has to protect.

Bea felt like a judgmental and not very likeable character to me. She constantly thinks of her friends and classmates as inferior, sometimes pities or envies them for their naivety. Most characters were very shallow and one-dimensional, which was a bit sad.
I was also shocked about the readiness with which the seers let themselves be turned into killers and even let each other die.

Maybe it is just me, but I like to know where I am in a story. Is it earth or a fantasy world. Is it the future? If so what happened to change the world as we know it? In this story this information comes very late. I felt like hanging in the air until then. For a long time I felt thrown into the middle of a story without knowing anything to pinpoint where I am.

So while I was very excited when I started reading the novel, I grew more and more disappointed towards the end. There still is a lot to enjoy about this imaginative story however but I felt like it could have been better developed. I will however surely read the other parts in this trilogy.

Dystopian fantasy novel, Luminosity by Stephanie Thomas, is the author's young adult debut. The main character, Beatrice, is a Seer who has been receiving visions of an impending invasion by City's mortal enemy, the Dreamcatchers. As tensions mount and the City goes on high alert, Beatrice starts keeping secrets that could be dangerous to everyone.

Initially, I was not a fan of Luminosity . It is written in first person from Beatrice's point of view, and I was a little confused about the way Stephanie Thomas brought us into the story. For one, I thought Gabe was some sort of guard, and we're told the Keeper is supposed to be intimidated by Beatrice, but I never got that vibe. Despite these things, once I got into the novel, it really began to flow, and I was hooked.

I'm usually disappointed in books that have romance as a major part of the novel because it comes at the cost of world-building, plotting, or character development. However, the romance in Luminosity was not overwhelming and watching Beatrice and Gabe was sweet, though very high school-esque. (Yes, I know this is aimed at a young adult audience.) The only thing I didn't really get was the "falling in love with the enemy" from the book's description. I never got any indication that Beatrice had feelings for anyone but Gabe. I mean, Gabe wasn't my favorite character in the book by a long shot, but at least I understood Beatrice's attraction to him.

Luminosity is an average-length YA book, and I think it was perfect for the story told. The pacing of the novel was really good, and it was packed with action that was well-executed. I think teens will really be able to connect with the book and characters, and I told myself several times while reading it that it's written for teens without being dumbed down. Luminosity had a rocky start for me, but I was impressed by the end. I even look forward to rereading it in the future.

Luminosity was a very difficult read for me. It is a good book with an intriguing world, but it was a very S L O W read with no action. Some of you will disagree with me because there was a lot of violent training involved but that's not real action. The story didn't move forward for a very long time; things were discovered, relationships were build but there wasn't anything that gripped me into the story. It was very close to being a DNF. What saved it? A very loyal, and charming man named Gabriel, and my willpower to finish it.

Luminosity is a dystopian step up in a post apocalyptic world where the Seers protect the Keepers from the Dreamcatchers. Seers are special people with sight to see the future, Keepers are the normal citizens, and Dreamcatchers are the people who steal memories of the Keepers in order to survive. I loved the world created by the author, it is such an original concept, but I feel like it wasn't used to it's potential. So many things could have happened, but everything was kept very subtle & normal, in other words, Boring!

Beatrice is one of the best Seers in the Institution, her visions are trusted the most among the Keepers. I had no character connection with her whatsoever, she seemed strong, and smart, but somehow she ended up sounding very childlike to me. Maybe it was the innocence, I don't know exactly, but someone was definitely lacking. She had two love interest Gabriel, best friend & fellow Seer and Echo, enemy & a dreamcatcher. I loved Gabe, he was the most loyal, honest, caring person in the story, and such a good friends to Bea. Echo on the other hand seemed very stalkerish, and his likeness towards Bea was sudden & rushed, and definitely unrealistic.

I have mixed emotions with Luminosity, I really liked the world, but I was extremely disappointed with the character (exception to Gabe) and especially the pace of the story. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue this series, but you should give it a try, many of my fellow bloggers have seemed to like this book. Maybe it's more like looking at it from a different angle, mine was surely not the best.

I thought the world building was really fascinating, although I did wish there had been a little more detail to the backstory. That being said, I still felt that overall it was well done and I was able to believe that this could actually be a real world and it didn’t come across as “over the top” or “fake”.

As far as the characters go, they were all very likable and well developed. I really liked Beatrice (her name is awesome by the way lol); she was a very determined and driven character. She took the time to figure things out for herself and didn’t just jump into situations blindly and hope for the best. I really enjoyed getting to know her, as well as the rest of the characters in the book.

I’m normally a big fan of romance in books, but unfortunately I couldn’t really get into the whole romance aspect in this book. I really don’t like when the romance is an “insta-love” type situation and there were a lot of areas where the romance just felt really rushed to me. And then there was a little bit of a “love triangle” as well as the whole “best friend becoming more” thing, and those are okay in moderation, but they’ve started to become such a common theme in books nowadays. I’m just a bit wary of them to be honest, so I wasn’t able to enjoy the romance as much as I wish I could have.

Overall I did enjoy this book; there was a lot of action and suspense, as well as interesting plot twists that kept me turning page after page. There are so many different aspects to the story, and not only is it a Young Adult Paranormal/Dystopian, it also has a bit of a Sci-Fi feel to it. I can see this book appealing to a wide range of readers, and I’ll most likely be continuing on with the series in the future.

When I requested this book, I thought it sounded so ridiculously awesome. I began to worry a little bit when the first chapter was really info-dumpy, but I calmed down as I kept reading. The world in which Beatrice, or Bea, lives is really neat, even if at times it seems very vaguely defined. (Yes, I know: info-dumpy and vague in the same paragraph. Trust me, I have no idea how that works any better than you do and I read the book.)

The idea was SO COOL. There are these Seers who protect ordinary Citizens, but only some Seers have really clear visions. Bea has seen the coming attack of the Dreamcatchers, people who can see into the past and see peoples’ intentions. Oh yeah, and Dreamcatchers can, with a single touch, kill a person and take their energy. The Seers are taken away from their families as young children and brought to live in something called the Institute where they are trained in everything from weaponry to art class. Bea is considered a hero, because she originally Saw the Dreamcatcher attack coming, but then a Dreamcatcher named Echo starts entering her dreams and telling her that they need to save each other, not kill each other.

Oh yeah, and Bea can’t decide if she’s in love with him or her long time friend Gabriel. Love triangle alert. *headdesk*

See, for me, Bea is where all the awesomeness started breaking down. The first thing is that, from the second she starts having her dreams with Echo, she is totally in love with Gabe while she’s awake and Echo while she’s asleep. Like seriously, she makes out with both of them and finds nothing wrong with it. She is also a total spaz, always freezing up right when the team of Seers she commands needs her. At the end of the book, the choices she makes seem to have absolutely no sense behind them at all. They just … happen.

Actually, that could speak for most of the book as a whole. Things just kinda happen, with not a lot of explanation or sense. Some of the characters are clearly just planted to be killed, and trying to invoke an emotional reaction for their deaths. Grief does NOT explain away everything that happens for the randomest reasons after that. Besides the Dreamcatchers, the other major people in the story seem to have no reasoning for why they’re doing anything. They’re just bad, or they’re just good. I hate, hate reusing this analogy, but SERIOUSLY, things need to stop feeling like a National Novel Writing Month novel, where the author was speed writing and got stuck and then just decided ______ would happen just so the story would start moving again. With that randomness in mind, however, I must say that none of the “revelations” in the novel surprised me. I had them pegged very early on.

Honestly, I’m mostly just frustrated because I know the book could have been so much better. There were all these spectacularly awesome pieces, but they just didn’t get threaded together very well. I appreciated that the book was always moving, but I wish sometimes things had made a little bit more sense or at least have been explained. Worst of all, I found Bea as a character to be flat and uncompelling, defined basically by the guys in her life. I would read book too, Evanescence, if it popped up on NetGalley, but I wouldn’t go looking for it.(less)

Children born with Sight are sent to live in the Institution when they are very young. I absolutely love the dynamic of characters thrown together in a small, and sometimes very controlled, atmosphere.
Bea is the best of the Seer’s at the Institution and because of a recent vision, she may have saved her people from an invasion by the Dreamcatchers. Her vision allowed the Keeper to catch one of them that had managed to get into their city and isolate the threat. They think the warning they received from the Dreamcatcher is a blessing and will help them better prepare for the rest of them that are said to be coming. What they don’t know is that Bea has a secret. Another Dreamcather has been visiting her in her dreams and they may already be too late.
Other Seers at the Institution start having visions that hint at betrayal, so Bea must keep everything to herself, because she doesn’t want to get labeled a danger to everyone. She feels safe with the Dreamcatcher in her dreams, but with the impending threats of them coming to kill her and her people, she must figure out a way to stop them. She also begins questioning the Keeper, but going against her is not really a possibility and is starts to become obvious that Keeper is keeping secrets from the rest of the Institution.
I think this was such a unique story. Visions and Seers are always such a fascinating topic to read about and I thoroughly enjoyed the history behind who they were and that of their enemies. Little things, like the color of the Seer children’s eyes all being the identifying feature, were fun and added to the mythology of the story. I guess it can be clichéd to have a leader who isn’t exactly what they seem, and could even be an enemy in their own right, but I like the way it was done in this story and I feel like it opens up a lot of potential for Bea’s character in future books. This one ends with a bit of a cliffhanger, so I will anxiously await the next book in the series.

I received an ARC through NetGalley.

Luminosity is another one of these awesome mash-ups of Dystopia and Paranormal. Instead of having vampires or shifters or some other typical creature, we've got Seers and Dreamcatchers. Seers, as they name implies, can see the future. Our narrator, Beatrice, is one of the best. The Dreamcatchers are the enemy, who can break a person's mind with a single touch.

The history of Seers and Dreamcatchers is actually pretty well explained, even if it does come in info...more

LUMINOSITY by Stephanie Thomas is a book that was highly recommended to me in the blogging community. Surprisingly, I had heard very little about this title prior to the recommendation, which is unusual when it comes to me and an Entangled Teen title. Did it live up to the hype? In many ways, yes. But not all.

Presenting itself as a dystopian-like, gothic mystery, LUMINOSITY is similar to and is written in a style that gave me flashbacks to the classic Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. Unfortunately for this reader, Ender’s Game is one of my all-time favorite books. Ever. I found myself making comparisons, even when comparisons were not necessarily due. Did this affect my reading experience? Yes, it did. And for that reason I will disclose that I was a partially biased reader when it came to this book. No similar book could possibly touch the genius that is Ender’s Game. As least, not in this reader’s eyes. With that being said…

LUMINOSITY is a story about Seers and Dreamcatchers. The former of which can “See” the future, and the later can view what is inside one’s mind. Bea is a young Seer who holds high status among her people due to the clarity of her Sight. She is held in extremely high regard by the Keeper, the one who oversees all of the Seers and the civilians in the enclosed city where they live “protected” from the Dreamcatchers. Why are they enclosed? Well, apparently the Dreamcatchers have the ability to kill those they touch, and the Seers and their people are being threatened by them. There is an eternal war in this futuristic society, and an air of mystery looms above every element that we know at the “truth“. But of course, the truth unravels fast in what turns out to be an imperfect society, although, not fast enough to keep the plot moving at an exhilarating pace. All in all, the story’s main downfall is that it is a bit s-l-o-w.

Sorry for the Ender’s Game comparisons, but much like in that book, LUMINOSITY reveals it’s “truths” in a series of Training Games that gradually turn darker and more real. Eventually the main character begins to question her role in her world and the truth about her leader’s initiatives. The “battle” is more than meets the eye. Oh, and there are bullies to be dealt with, as well as boy trouble with Bea’s life-long friend Gabe and this Dreamcatcher boy named Echo that Bea may or may not be snogging in her dreams (which are too few and far apart, if you ask me)…

I liked Bea and Gabe well enough. Their relationship was sweet and awkward and all the things you would want a friendship-turned-love to be. But Bea was also so back and forth and fickle in all things. For a “highly respected” figure, she certainly needed to grow a bit of a back bone and gain some more insight. Then again, she had lived a fairly sheltered life… Gabe’s immaturity also was likely a result of their upbringing. I wish that more had been explored about the Keeper and her interactions with Bea. I saw some things coming a mile away with many of the characters, yet when they were revealed, usually only a sentence or two was dedicated to the “big reveals”. That’s all minor nitpicking, though, because there really was SO MUCH going on in the end, that to elaborate on everything could have turned this into a 500 page book. These items are for future installments, yes? (Including more on how the world came to be as it is, please?)

If you have read Ender’s Game you are sure to like this book, all comparisons aside. Like Ender, there is also a big “woah” moment to be had in the end. Is it as “WOAH” as Ender’s climatic exposé? Well, no… But is it worth it? Heck yes. In fact, if you have not read Ender’s Game, and are not prone to make comparisons like I am, the “woah” moment might have more of an impact on you.

Dark, gritty and unforgiving (don’t even get me started on the body count), LUMINOSITY is sure to enthrall readers of all ages. A promising enough start, I know I’ll be following this series to the very end.(less)

The seers have visions of future events, but they don't know when they will happen. So they try to prepare the best they can for when they happen. Sometimes things are out of their hands, and what they see happens regardless.

Dreamcatchers, take the images from people. They take the past. In order to heal they most take from others.

The much abused love triangle makes an appearance in yet another YA novel with Luminosity, as does the dreaded insta-love. Though I loved the connection that Gabe and Bea shared, I think adding Echo into the mix was a good play on Thomas's part - at least not in that fashion. I think if the bond between the two had been written in a more realistic way, this book wouldn't have suffered as much, but with the insta-love, it went from being great to good. Nevertheless, I decided on 4 stars for the sheer fact that I did enjoy the rest of the novel. I think it was written fairly well with more than enough action, suspense, and heartless murder to keep you on your toes.

The characters themselves weren't the greatest, but I did feel a connection with them - well, except for Echo. I think the fact that we learned next to nothing about him plays a big part in the role of my not liking him, and there was a question that arose towards the end of the book that wasn't answered (or even brought up again). I'm hoping the sequel expands more on his role in the Dreamcatcher society. Bea herself was a heroine that I neither loved nor hated, but could sympathize with. She's had a tough life - as most of the Seers have - but she's a very strong character that I can see going far. I didn't agree with a lot of her choices, but I think her story flowed pretty well, and I can't wait to see where the latest development in the Seer heirarchy takes her. Last, but by no means least, I want to talk about Gabe. I loved him as a character. I think he's a fantastic love interest, and given that he and Bea have known eachother their whole lives, I appreciate the fact that they have gone beyond the best friend feelings. No insta-love here, folks! (If only the same could be said for Bea and Echo). The ending broke my heart a little in regards to the many unanswered questions surrounding Gabe, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book so I can assure myself that everything is going to be fine. Gabe himself is a very strong male lead. Though he's clearly in love with Bea, he doesn't let his feelings cloud his judgement of her, and he does put her in her place several times throughout this novel. He's a very well-rounded character, and I do so hope that Bea ends up making the right choice.

The world-building is something a lot of people don't like about this novel, but I, personally, thought there was enough. Could we have benefited from a little more history? Absolutely. But that doesn't stop the world Thomas has created from being interesting. It's brutal, confusing (in a good way), and utterly terrifying. I will admit that certain aspects of this book seemed a little Hunger Games-esque, at least at the beginning of the book, but those similarities were soon trumped when Thomas went above and beyond in her attempt to kill of all of her characters. I've always respected an author who isn't afraid to murder their own creations, but the two deaths I'm thinking about did seem a little unnecessary. They also appeared to be forgotten about far too quickly to be plausible, but I can't blame Thomas for the lack of grief when there was so much else going on.

Overall, this novel is well worth picking up. Though it didn't end on a cliffhanger exactly, it did leave us with a lot of unanswered questions and I can't wait for the sequel to be released to see what happens to each of our characters next. If you're a fan of the dystopia/post-apocalyptic and fantasy mix, Luminosity will likely be right up your alley. It definitely comes recommended by me.

In LUMINOSITY, Seers are taken from their families upon discovery and raised in the Institution. They're trained in their Visions, and, once they're able to see clearly, tattooed with a raven's wings to mark themselves as true Seers. Beatrice is one of the most accomplished Seers in the Institution despite her youth, and sees more clearly into the future. Her Visions almost always come true, and she's been seeing horrific visions of war as of late. The Institution puts in more measures of protection, upping the way it trains to the point where training results in a Kill or Be Killed environment...for real this time. Beatrice is conflicted about such sessions, but afraid to say anything and be reprimanded. She also keeps quiet about the fact that one of the Institution's enemies, a Dreamcatcher named Echo, has been entering her dreams at night and telling her disturbing things about what's to come. What's real and what's a dream? Which Seers are having Visions of a truthful future, and which ones aren't clear enough to be right? who does Beatrice believe in this world of lies, half-truths, and whispers of potential futures?

Fans of dystopian novels looking for something outside the normal crop of offerings might want to take a look at Stephanie Thomas' debut novel LUMINOSITY. While there's still a controlling government keeping dark secrets, there's also the element of fantasy in that there are Seers who can see the future and Dreamcatchers who look into the past. The world of LUMINOSITY is different to the dystopian genre in a manner that reminds me of the way Gennifer Albin's CREWEL is unique to it, with a world built on a foundation that's new to us. It also helps that in both worlds, those "imprisoned" are treated as the cream of the crop, the best of the best.

LUMINOSITY also bears more grittiness than most dystopians. A lot of books get compared to Suzanne Collins Hunger Games Trilogy these days just because it's the "hot book," but most don't share the grittiness. That isn't to say it's a rip-off, either, because that's not what I'm trying to say. Mostly, I'm reminded of MOCKINGJAY in the way there's a death toll and more violence than what's seen in most dystopians. The age of the characters reminds me of THE HUNGER GAMES itself, where kids are trained to be killers, though this isn't exclusively limited to children as in THG, but training for a war between Seers and Dreamcatchers. The arena is a training ground, not Death Row, and the Seers must kill convicts, not one another. This also is just a small part to the fabric of the story, not the centerpiece. These are just small similarities that showcase the book's grit and the way it actually can be more closely compared to the "it" book than most in the genre.

There's also the potential for a love triangle in future books. At the moment, it's slanted toward a fellow Seer, Gabe, Beatrice's best friend at the Institution. He protects her fiercely, and the two of them grew up together and always look out for one another. On the other hand, there's potential for more with Echo, the Dreamcatcher who finds his way to Beatrice in her dreams at night with promises of saving them both despite the impending war.

There is so much more to come in future books; we've only scratched the surface at the mythos of what it means to be a Seer or a Dreamcatcher. What actually happened in the past, and what's coming in the future? I predict more darkness and grit in this series before society can repair itself. If you're looking for a unique society amongst the glut of dystopian out there, take a closer look at the world of LUMINOSITY.

Luminosity was the kind of book whose rating on Goodreads fooled me - badly.

Well, I'm not entirely sure if the problem lies with me (I'm a pretty picky reader if you haven't realized by now) or with the book itself, since I'm probably one of the very few to give this book such a low rating, but either way, Luminosity was a huge disappointment to me.

To tell the truth, Luminosity's synopsis practically gives away the entire plot, leaving just a few mysteries for the content of the book. Beatrice is a Seer. She has visions of the future, and her visions are much clearer than any other of the Seers living in the Institution. Unfortunately, the enemy - a particular Dreamcatcher - has managed to hack into her mind and tells her to run away with him.

Maybe Luminosity might have been a better experience for me had its characters not been so shallow, like pieces of flimsy paper flapping in the wind (okay, that was a horrible metaphor, but you get the picture). I couldn't tell the characters apart from each other, not even with Beatrice, even though she was supposed to be 'special'. Beatrice didn't really strike me as a strong or interesting main character. In fact, she was quite boring, always lamenting about her visions, about Gabe, about Mae, Connie. I was never able to have that reader-character connection with her at all. The relationship with her friends was so unrealistic, too, in the sense that I couldn't feel or see their friendship - it was just words on paper, with no true meaning or emotion. Also, though the ages of Beatrice's friends aren't actually revealed, I always thought that they'd be around her age: sixteen or seventeen. But the way they behaved and acted in the book made them seem like kids instead of teenagers, and Gabe, Beatrice's best friend, confused me. Sometimes, he was the adorable guy. Other times, he turned into an immature brat.

Another thing that Luminosity lacked was world-building. So many questions popped up in my mind as I read the book. What really is the City? How did the world come to be like this? What about the world outside the City and the supposed wastelands? Stephanie Thomas never elaborated on the City in which the Institution was built in, or the outsides of the City, which annoyed me a lot. Though, considering that this is only the first book in the Raven Chronicles, I suppose Thomas will be able to develop Beatrice's world even more in the books to come.

I will admit one thing, though: Luminosity had an interesting premise. An enemy who fed on the minds of other people and a group of Seers who had to save the day? Even though a thousand things could go wrong with that outline, I felt that Thomas did a pretty good job introducing the whole Dreamcatcher vs. Seer concept to us. There was, of course, much room for improvement.

Which leads me to my final point: the romance. Echo was the Dreamcatcher who managed to penetrate Beatrice's mind and talk to her in her dreams. And even though the both of them hardly knew each other, they fell in love and kissed in... what, her second dream about him? I couldn't understand how and why Beatrice allowed herself to believe what Echo had to say. He was the enemy! She's been trained to hate people like him from the very start, to kill them if she had to! The insta-love definitely frustrated me here, and so did the ending of the book.

To sum up...

PROS: Interesting premise

CONS: Unrealistic & boring characters; bad world-building; insta-love; no good relationship between the characters

OVERALL: While Luminosity was 'readable', in a sense, I did not enjoy it at all. Not even the interesting and quite original concept was enough to make me like it in the least bit, and I doubt I will be picking up the sequel. Like I said, maybe the problem lies with me, since I seem to be one of the very few who disliked the book, but anyway, Luminosity just didn't cut it for me.

With her ability comes all kinds of attention she wished she wouldn’t get and a duty to be a leader to all other seers but how can she lead her team when she doesn’t even know what to believe in? Her people know disaster is on its way and war is looming with their enemy. They are told they must protect the Citizens of the City but at what cost? Like any other heroine Beatrice just wants answers so when someone starts to call out to her in her dreams she really wants to know what is going on. She has let the enemy into her head and quickly finds herself asking who can she really trust.

Although she wasn’t everything I thought she would be I liked Beatrice. She questioned everything that was happening but continued to remain cautious in order to protect herself and others. She was never trusted people 100% and in her world that was a good thing. She’s been trained to use a gun but she is still like any other girl. She still liked to be silly, to have fun with her girls (Connie and Mae) and worry about boys. And speaking of boys both Gabe and Echo have potential. I am not really rooting for anyone in particular but I liked her friendship with Gabe and that even though he got mad at her a lot for keeping things from him he still promised to always be there for her. Echo is the enemy and that always makes things interesting.
*Originally reviewed on Pages Of Forbidden Love

It took me a while to really get immersed into the story but it was always, even if just a little bit, intriguing. It was a little disappointing that Beatrice wasn’t as badass as I thought she would be. Her visions were awesome and she did have other training but I felt she was lacking a bit there. The romance wasn’t all I thought it would be either. It was there but I just wasn’t able to become fully invested in it. I am hoping as the series continues I can connect with them more.

Overall though I thought Luminosity was a good book and a good start to a series. It was really interesting reading about this new world of Seers and Dream catchers. I liked how it went back and forth between real time, Beatrice’s visions, and her dreams. I liked how it could always keep me suspicious. I always had my guesses but in the end I was still left in doubt just like Beatrice was. There was quite a bit of action and some parts made me sad but I what I liked the most is how this book really points out that we usually only ever get one side of a story. The end was a big “Wait it’s over!?” and I have no idea what is to come so I am looking forward to the second book in the series.(less)

This is a quick read that can be knocked down in mere hours that you do not want to miss.

Set in a futuristic time where a war demolished practically the entire world, the plot in this book is incredibly imaginative. Seers can see the future. They are identified by their violet eyes at birth and are then surrendered to the Institution so that they can learn to protect themselves and channel their abilities to See to protect the unskilled citizens living in the city that the Institution calls home. Beatrice is a star among Seers for her accurate, intense, and clear visions that have never been wrong. Their enemies are the Dreamcatchers. They, too, have violet eyes and special abilities, but instead of seeing in the future, they see into the past. They harvest dreams for what they once were and make sure they are never forgotten.

The pacing of this book is amazing as well, once you hurdle through the beginning. I have to say that I struggled with the first fifth of the book because it truly did jump right into things. While I was getting to know Bea, I was thrown into a world that I didn't understand full of people with unique abilities and unique sayings that I couldn't quite grasp because there wasn't much explanation about the past. The explanations came slightly too late in the book and if they were more towards the beginning, it would have left little room for confusion.

My one big qualm is that there is a slight love triangle. While I loved Bea's seriousness and focus, I had trouble with her thought processes simply when it came to boys because she was stuck between two. They were both incredibly different and had completely different purposes in her life and she was constantly waffling between them dictated by whoever currently held her attention. I didn't like it, and I felt as if that one wrong point ruined the story for me. Oddly enough, I do agree with her overall decision at the end of the story because of the description of the feelings she experienced with both boys. As unconventional as it seems, her chosen love seemed to be the right one.

I highly recommend this one to whoever wishes to read it. It's quick and easy to get through, though be warned that there is death in it. If you do not like death, this is not a book for you. It does take place in the middle of a war, after all. The book left off in the perfect place. The ending served it's purpose and keeps us eagerly waiting for book two without leaving us hanging. Thomas's debut is definitely one worth reading if you ever have the time.(less)
