I'm gonna re-read this one day because I don't think I was in the right /mind space/ for it.5 cups of tea. I have honestly not been so addicted to a book in a long time and im so excited that this is a 6 book series. video review will be coming for this.Elspeth has powers but she needs to hide them in this wordls powers are never a good thing.(view spoiler)[ Elspeth is sent to obernewtyn and starts to make friends. while she is there a new misfit arrives and the death of her brother is told to her. I was so upset when Elsepth was crying in the hay it felt so raw and reeal i forgot i
I tried really hard to get into this book, but I felt no connection with the main character. The story might have been very good, but I kept getting distracted and bored because of the descriptions of scenery and setting. Setting can be very important, but I just couldn't get into the book because it got in the way. I'd like to try it again sometime, since I ended up skimming the ending.
While I feel that the post-apocalyptic genre has pretty much done to ahem, death, I don't mind books that add new ideas and try and take the genre in new directions.

I want to like this book. I really do. I was interested in the world Carmody was building, especially after the first few pages. Then I kept on reading. The book is short, primarily because there's so little of substance. Normally, I love the first book in a fantasy series because there is so much world building. Here, Carmody has it's setting, but she doesn't do anything to make that world feel alive. The story takes place mostly in the countryside and the mountains. There is little description
I'm conflicted with rating this book. On the one hand, I would give it two stars and nothing more, but compared to the other two-star rated books I've read, Obernewtyn was somewhat better. But it's not quite three stars, you see. I gave three stars for Lips Touch by Laini Taylor, and I thought that was infinitely better than Obernewtyn.On the other hand, I wanted to like this. I had high expectations for it - which probably just added to my disappointment. So I suppose for me, this book lies

The concept of these books may have parallelism but the stories in their entirety are completely different.For one, White Mountains is a science-fiction while Obernewtyn, although has elements of sci-fi, leans more towards epic fantasy. And while the mountain Will trekked to promises
