After a month of living a semi-normal life with her condition, Wen would rather not think about scary things like the fact that her ability became more powerful all on its own. Or that Louise is still roaming free. Or that she's about to be married to Gabriel and she has no idea how they'll manage being unable to touch each other. But the questions won't leave her alone and she's desperate for answers.
Wen believes those answers begin with Subject Number Three, the only person known to have survived touching her lethal skin. When her Uncle Robert finally locates the woman, Wen is sure that an end to her problems is within her grasp. She's wrong. They've only just begun.
Now, hope for a cure to Wen's condition is crumbling, Kaylen is missing, and a horrifying accident with her brother leaves Wen desperate and terrified. Just when she thinks she can't take much more, Gabriel, the one person Wen thought she could count on, suddenly becomes the one person she fears the most.Overall rating: 5 stars
This was an absolutely amazing continuation of the Colorworld series, and I'm actually mad it took me a week to finish reading this, but I did not have a lot of time to read at work and then I was still adjusting to a new job so I was exhausted by the time I got home. Anyway, if you are looking for a series of wholly plot-driven story, this series may not be the choice for you. Since Wendy started the series as an empath, a lot of what goes on is driven by emotions and the characters.
I love the depth given to each character. They really do feel so incredibly real to me, which is amazing as they are given life by a bunch of black letters on white paper. In many ways this second book is such a difficult one for Wendy and Gabriel. They have to deal with a lot both together and apart, and the ups and downs only make them stronger in the end. There is so much growth in the characters and their relationships that I am completely awestruck.
Ezra, Wendy's brother, is a lot more present in this book, for which I am grateful because he is a really fun character. Also, there are some action-y type scenes in the book thanks to Kaylen and her telekinetic ability, which breaks up all the emotional plot and lets us explore other special powers as well.
Teleworld revealed so many secrets and held so many revelations within the covers that I honestly wonder what could possibly happen next. These books keep getting better and better, and I am so immensely glad that I happened to walk past Rachel Kelly's table at Ohio Comic Con, because my life feels expanded because of reading these books.
I very very much look forward to seeing her again at Chicago Comic Con this year, where I will buy the illustrated editions of the series so I can enjoy the books all over again. Also, I will totally have several fangirl moments as I continue to obsess over this amazing series
I cannot recommend these books enough. You can find them in e-book and paperback, but my recommendation is to either find Rachel on her Colorworld Book Tour and buy the books from her in person...or go to colorworldbooks.com and buy them from the online store. You'll get the books signed, and you will be helping an author and her family as they continue on an amazing journey that has been brought about by these incredible characters and these amazing books/adventures.
