Aug 12, 2018 Emily rated it it was amazing

This entire series is a must read!!!

If you want to fall I love with a series that has a kickass MC, excellent world building and character development, and action, this series is for you!

Rayne is a girl who all her life was seen as an outcast because she didn’t garner her own power by her second birthday. She was made fun of, ridiculed, and made to believe her life wouldn’t matter because she wasn’t like everyone else. But then, on her seventeenth birthday, she wakes to find she’s suddenly dev ...more

I loved this book so so much. I was on the edge of my seat and I ignored the real world while I read this book. I just had to know what was going to happen to Rayne and all the rest of them. The author built an amazing world full of so much amazingness.
This was such an empowering book that reminded me that age abs gender have no bearing on you ability to change your world for the better.
I highly recommend this book.

I received a copy of Wind and Glass, Fire and Stone from Netgalley. I thought that the idea of a new human species with superpowers sounded fascinating and I was intrigued to see how a girl who would not get these superpowers at the same age as everyone else would go through life.

I thought that the different superpowers were fascinating. I think that I would have most enjoyed have the superpower to support plant life. It was also very interesting to see how these superpowers were treated in different contexts.

The character development was well-done. Rayne’s motives and actions are clearly detailed. She is different to the other people in her colony not just due to the Luminescence not coming to her, but due to her being adopted. I myself would have preferred a bit more depth when it came to the other nine people that Rayne trains with at the Capitol as well as some of the other major characters.

I enjoyed reading how different people reacted to the political upheaval, and how it was shown that sometimes people will not change. I think the reader can find similarities with the real world.

What bothered me was that the standard language for the new human species was Latin. Why Latin? Why was one language chosen above any others, if all the humans could understand all the languages in the world? Where was the necessity for creating a standard language?

Something else that quite bothered me is that they insinuate that the evil Homo Sapiens are evil due to them being crazy as they are the descendants of dangerous prisoners – this is ridiculous, and ableism. I could understand if the evilness of the Homo Sapiens was explained by the surroundings they grew up in – which is done later on – but blaming it on the fact that all dangerous prisoners are mentally ill (which is wrong) and that thus all their descendants are is incorrect.

__

Wind and Glass, Fire and Stone had an incredible plot. I couldn’t stop reading. I wish that there had been more character development for the major characters other than Rayne.

Trigger warnings: gore/violence, ableism, murder.

Shelves: arc-reviews, read-and-reviewed

we received a free ARC copy of Wind and Glass, Fire and Stone via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not surprised that this ARC was withdrawn, but, let me just ask one thing. Why? I mean, do you see the Divergent trilogy set into one book? No, so why did the Rayne trilogy need to be the one trilogy set that did? Not only did I feel confused but I didn't get the satisfaction of reading multiple books, or of having to physically wait or change books to get over a cliffhanger. I found ...more

Shelves: 2019-release, arc, 2018

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with this arc

When I started this book I did not know it was a bindup of the whole trilogy. When I found out I just started book 2. After I finished book 2 I decided to stop reading.
Mainly because I was not enjoying myself. This story is written so often, it gave me Divergent/ Hungergames/ Delirium vibes. This and me disliking the main character (and the other characters), made me decide to stop.
This book is about Rayne, who is the only 16-year old without an ...more

I really liked the idea of this story, but as I was reading it I felt like I’d read this before. There was nothing new and exciting to keep me going. I’m sorry but I did not finish this book.

Shelves: a2, a4n, feb, nyp, 2018

The summary of this book makes it sound exactly like something I'd enjoy. Sadly, I just couldn't get into it. The language is very formal and stuff, especially in the dialogue - who begs forgiveness for their absence when they're going to get food to give the other person? I know it was supposed to sound Latin-ish, but it just kept pushing me out of the story. DNF at 26%. ...more

Dec 31, 2018 Wendy rated it really liked it

This book reminded me of The Hunger Games and the Divergent trilogies. Starting with a seemingly perfect world where all is peace and cooperation. Rayne, a 16 year old who has not come into her powers through the Luminescence, all of a sudden develops not one, but all ten powers her civilization knows of. When she finds herself in the Othersphere she learns of the lies she has been fed and seeks to free her civilization from the lies and her new friends from their necessity to hide. This was a l ...more
