"THE HYBRID CHRONICLES" by Kat Zhang
My synopsis of the trilogy:
"I should not exist, but I do."
Eva and Addie Tamsyn started off as every other child did--as two souls curled around each other inside one body. However, as they grew older, one of the souls not disappearing, the glances and whispered statements all rang the same question, the same accusation:
Why haven't they settled yet?
As their parents begged the doctors and government to give them just a little more time, Addie and Eva came to realize that they had to settle, Eva gradually fading until she no longer appeared. This brought their parents, doctors, and even the government joy, but Addie had to keep an enormous secret from everyone, even her little brother Lyle. A secret that could mean more gossip, more humiliation, and worst of all, institutionalization.
The secret?
Eva was still there.
Two years after the girls had "settled", they learn that there may be a way for Eva to move, talk, dance, and laugh again. However, being caught was a huge risk, and an even larger possibility, because it's not only considered dangerous.
It's illegal.
Caught in a world where their very existence is considered a threat, Addie aand Eva are forced to come to terms with the fact that living as they are, as hybrid, is one filled with constant fear and caution. However, even in the midst of horrible experiences and terror, love can provide the greatest sense of security there is.
Join Addie and Eva on their exhilerating journey to escape the government's hateful clutches, and their mission to protect all whom they hold dear in their heart.
My Rating:
FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS TO THIS AMAZING TRILOGY!
My Review:
Brilliantly crafted to make you question reality as we think it, "The Hybrid Chronicles" is written in three installments:
I highly recommend this trilogy, because it truly began to make me wonder if we all have our own recessive souls that disappear before we're old enough to remember them as anything more then just an imaginary friend. Kudos to Kat Zhang to how well she developed all of her characters, carefully constructing each separate soul to be different in their own distinct way, and easily distinguishable by the reader. I also highly recommend this book because there is little to no cursing throughout the entire trilogy, opening up the age range for readers much more. It allowed the story to simply grow and develop on its own without any extra, unneeded baggage, and I very much enjoyed the breath of fresh air.
