“The Unnaturalists”
by, Tiffany Trent
In a
world surrounded my magic but where its use is prohibited, Vespa Nyx lives a
pretty ordinary life. Vespa works in a museum with her father where they store
magical creatures (Elementals) that are kept in stasis. If she had it her way
Vespa would never marry and would work at the museum for the rest of her life,
but her father has other plans for her.
This
story takes place in New London, an early London style world that is full of
magic and danger. As you read you will learn about the upper-class city people
and the lower-class people (Tinkers) who live on the outskirts. The Tinkers are
in tune with nature and the mythical creatures that live among them. Because of
this, the Tinkers are taken from their homes and enslaved in the refinery where
they have no hope of escape. In New London we also meet the Archetects, a group
of magic users who are trying to stop the destruction of magical creatures and
bring balance to the city.
*Some of the characters
Vespa- I like how strong she is and that she doesn’t cry or
run away from danger. She knows what she wants and who she is.
Hal- He is very complicated and is constantly at war with
himself. I liked that he is flawed but wants to do the right thing and I loved
seeing him grow as the story progressed.
Syrus- He is my favorite character and has enough
personality to carry his own book series. Syrus is smart, resourceful, and has
a beautiful soul.
These are just a few of the
wonderfully written characters that live in this captivating world. “The
Unnatrualists” is a rich and detailed story that I couldn’t put down. The
characters are full of life and jump off the pages as you read. New London is a
perfect mix of fantasy, romance, and adventure. I really hope that this is just
the first book based in this world and I can’t wait for what comes next.
