but I feel like we went overboard with Evie. My issues were with the vernacular being used- yes, this might- might- be how they spoke then…. The story line kept me interested, and set up the rest of the series well. I loved being able to understand what motivated them- their dreams and fears. With multiple narratives, we are allowed to get to the main cast- Evie, Sam, Jericho, Will, Memphis and Theta- well. The writing style is definitely great- while choppy in sections, the story had a good flow to it and the characters were all very well developed. I loved and hated this book in equal measures.
And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened… A student named Jericho is hiding a shocking secret. A chorus girl named Theta is running from her past. A young man named Memphis is caught between two worlds. As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfold in the city that never sleeps. But when the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer. Evie worries her uncle will discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. SOMETHING DARK AND EVIL HAS AWAKENED… Evie O’Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City-and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. Is this part of a series? Yes, Diviners book 1 Also, there’ll be no spoilers for the series! 😊Īll artwork is by Nica Galvez.Genre: YA, fantasy, mystery, historical fiction I think the only flaw of my list is that these actors aren’t close in age to the characters, but I’m pro-ageing characters up in adaptations, so please don’t hold it against me. Some aren’t conventional (no, I didn’t use Elle Fanning as Evie) but personally that’s what I like about them.
I’m not going to be humble, the four characters I’ve fan-casted I feel pretty passionately about.
This series interchanges between 8 main narrators and when there’s such a large cast of characters, I personally need to appoint a real face to every main character otherwise I get so lost. Hello bookworms, how are you?! These last few months I’ve been binge-listening to The Diviners series by Libba Bray on audio, and I’ve come to easily love these merry band of magical ghost hunters.
