So Rafi became that, and Frey was trained as a body-double. it definitely delivers a couple hours worth of active entertainment and a very promising hope for the series to come!įreedom's easy to lose and hard to get back.Rafi and Frey are twins - but Rafi is the only "real" one.ĭespite being genetically identical, Rafi was born first and their father decided he only wanted one daughter. so that aspect was a miss for me.īut overall, this was a fast and easy-going read. if anything, this story was extremely plot driven (hence calling it nonstop), and other than a few subtle mentions here and there, there wasnt really anything that connected this with the ‘uglies’ series. but there honestly wasnt much world building. as i said, i loved the ‘uglies’ series, so i have been beyond excited to relive that experience, in a way. However, i think the one thing i was really hoping to get from this, which may have led to too high of expectations, was more interaction with the world. i cant wait to see what happens in the next book! the plot development and pacing of this was just so good! and dont even get me started on that ending - holy cow. the fact that there was always something going on, in addition to the very simplistic and unhindered writing, makes this a story that is difficult to put down. its action packed, full of daring rebellion and planning. this hits the ground running from the very first chapter and honestly doesnt slow down. Scanning the reviews for this, there has been one word that keeps popping up and that is ‘nonstop.’ i cant think of a better word to describe this book.
so what a treat its been get the chance to re-enter that world 10 years later in a brand new story. Impostors is the fifth book in the Uglies series, the first of which is Uglies.The ‘uglies’ series was one of my all time favourites as a teen. This description comes from the publisher. With Impostors, master storyteller Scott Westerfeld returns with a new series set in the world of his mega-bestselling Uglies-a world full of twists and turns, rebellion and intrigue, where any wrong step could be Frey's last. As the deal starts to crumble, Frey must decide if she can trust him with the truth.and if she can risk becoming her own person. But Col, the son of a rival leader, is getting close enough to spot the killer inside her.
When her father sends Frey in Rafi's place as collateral in a precarious deal, she becomes the perfect impostor-as poised and charming as her sister.
Her only purpose is to protect her sister, to sacrifice herself for Rafi if she must. So while Rafi was raised to be the perfect daughter, Frey has been taught to kill. Their powerful father has many enemies, and the world has grown dangerous as the old order falls apart. But Frey's very existence is a secret.įrey is Rafi's twin sister-and her body double. Frey and Rafi are inseparable.two edges of the same knife.
