As I began to read Aria’s story, I kept thinking of how that opener will work into her story. But for Mystic City, that prologue totally caught my attention. It’s usually not until the first or second chapter where I start to care. In many cases, they fail to get me interested in the story. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with prologues. All of these recent developments feel surreal to Aria, and she can’t shake this feeling that something is wrong about all this. The Fosters and Roses use Aria and Thomas’ relationship to help unite the divided city population against the mystics. The mystics are treated terribly and drained of their powers in order to supply the city with energy. In addition to that, she learns that the Fosters and Roses decided to come to a truce and work together to keep control over the mystics, a population of individuals with magical energy and powers.
They tell her that she had been sneaking out with Thomas for months and that she’s madly in love with him.
She’s surprised when her family tells her she’s engaged to Thomas, a member of the Foster family who had been longtime enemies and political rivals of the Roses. She can’t remember what happened to her in the past few months or what led her to OD on Stic. One day, she wakes up and finds out that she overdosed on a mystic drug, called Stic, which resulted in memory loss. Mystic City follows Aria Rose, the daughter of the prominent Rose family. Mystic City blends many genres into one enthralling and intriguing story. So with no idea what to expect, I was immediately drawn into Aria’s world, a futuristic, magical and dystopian Manhattan. I didn’t read what it’s about or browse through the reviews on Goodreads. I think that’s when you can truly objectively assess whether a book is good or not.
The choices she makes can save or doom the city-including herself.I love going into a book with no expectations. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection-and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud-and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. Book One of the Mystic City Novels.Īria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. For fans of Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever.
