I first met Helen on Twitter (@HelenBozz ). I admired her
sense of humor and genuineness long before I read her book. At the time I met her I had a string of 10
other books to get through, mostly indie authors who gave free books in
exchange for review. I purchased
Mythology 3 months before I finally got around to reading it.
It was well worth the wait.
I read Mythology right after reading
Divergent and Insurgent by @VeronicaRoth. In comparison, I found Mythology significantly
better written and more interesting than Divergent. No disrespect to Veronica
Roth. It’s simply a sign of how well-constructed and entertaining this book is.
On Boswell’s website, she
lists the following synopsis for Mythology:
Born with an unusual power to see the dark
memories of those around her, Hope just wants to be a normal teenager. But on
the first day of her senior year of high school, she finds herself irresistibly
drawn to a transfer student named Micah Condie. At first glance, Micah seems
like a boy that most girls would dream about. But when Hope's powers allow her
to discover Micah's darkest secret, she quickly becomes entangled in the lives
of mythical entities she never dreamed existed.
It sounds like typical YA subject matter.
However, this is not your typical high school paranormal romance novel. Hope is a perfectly flawed and genuine young
woman. There is nothing idealized about her. She makes cringe-worthy mistakes
and deals with real-life problems with a believable mixture of strength and
fragility. Ten pages in, Hope feels like
a real person rather than a caricature.
I had a similar experience reading Dead Witch
Walking by Kim Harrison. The main character of that book, Rachel Morgan, is a
perfect character because she is so far from perfect. She makes mistakes. When she
fails, it makes you root for her all the more.
The same goes for Hope Gentry.
Near the middle of the book, you learn she has survived a horrendous
experience. It is refreshing to see the topic deal with in such empowering
honesty in a YA novel. Judy Blume would
be proud.
Needless to say, I am hooked on Helen
Boswell. I look forward to whatever her next project is.
